hey guys, my 009 flat spot is back again, this time with avengence! ive decided that i wanna get my stock engine tuned by a proffesional, i phoned up a local...
Some friends just had their '65 Split screen bus set up on a rolling road. It cost them £220 all in and took all day. They do have a 1600 with twin carbs tho....
A good vacuum distributor WILL cure this flat spot. The 009 has an advance curve which is incompatible with the single carb engine and that long long inlet...
I believe it also depends on how you time the engine up. There is a strong thought that the 009 should be timed up ignoring what it is doing at tickover. It...
Matt, I wouldn't say "alltogether" but about 90% gone! As Mike says also, a rolling road setup will ensure that you get the absolute best from your set-up what...
ok, thanks for your input guys, ive decided to also order a bosch vacuum advance from heritage, (plus some other bits and bobs which i dont really need and...
Matt, Mine came complete with everything except the "O" ring. I just took the one from my 009. No they don't come with instructions. Setup is easy. Static...
hey guys, well, i took my car on the rolling road on saturday and thaey also put my new dizzy on for me, and the flat spot has now gone! However, they ...
Hi mate, I am glad the flat spot has gone. If you have a 1302s then you won't need to pass the MOT on emissions anyway! So don't worry about it. If not, what...
Hi mark, thanks for your reply, my car is a 1971 1302s, i think it was actually produced in august of 1970, but that still makes it a '71 right? so this means...
Hi mate, The law on emissions (so I believe) stands as follows: Up to 01/08/1975 there is only a visual smoke emission test to be carried out - no actual test...
Does dynamometer (dyno) work for you? Except a rolling road is one you stick the driven wheels on. A dyno usually - well here in the UK - is one you bolt the...
This would appear logical Mark and I am inclined to believe you - but I have always had to get my emissions down to get through the MOT. I wonder if the...
Hi Mike, I have checked with another forum, and also a friend who is an MOT tester & they have all confrmed that it's only a visual inspection on our cars. ...
does anyone know if its possible to buy sloping wings (for sloping headlights to fit) for a 1302/3 beetle? dont worry, im not thinking of changing! its just my...
... headlights to fit) for a 1302/3 beetle? dont worry, im not thinking of changing! its just my friend with a 1303 asked, and i guessed the 1302 wings would...

Apart from the cut outs for the fender (bumber) and the indicator lights, as both of these changed year to year, for the 1302 - yes. Not certain about 1303 as...

Hi everyone. I've just joined the group after purchasing a 1971 Beetle. I am intending to completely restore it and as I am a pretty good welder and sprayer, I...
Hi all, I'm new to the group. I'm about to buy a 1972 beetle that's been converted to the Baja. It's also had 1600 Ghia engine installed with twin Webbers, a...
... converted to the Baja. It's also had 1600 Ghia engine installed with twin Webbers, a high-pressure oil pump, lightened flywheel and a high lift cam along...
I too thought it must have the 'standard' torsion bar suspension as I thought 1302 and 1303 were notoriously bad at forming the basis of Baja bug - ie they...
