Bang, bang, bang on the door baby, bang, bang!

Won't do much good if the solenoid isn't sending any juice!

I could be wrong... But those almost look like some kind of plumbing washer. Something like the ones on a sink trap.

BigAl...before you try to crank old Snorkie up...PLEASE pull the plugs out and pour some Marvel Mystery Oil or Diesel fuel in the cylinders to lube everything up.

MUST LUBE THE SNORKEL :D

No problem Randy! I was just trying to see if we had any juice flowing and satisfy the curiousity of the Snorky faithful!

you also need some plutonium to generate the 1.21 jigawatts of electricity to activate the snorkel

Is it ok for a married man to lube the snorkel?

I guess I need to dig through the trash cans at the Tennessee Valley Authority nuclear plants and see if I can find some plutonium!

Yeah, the Holley/ Weber that the VW community uses originally came on the Ford 4 cylinder

interesting, is that for real? or are you just making it up?

And the motor is an overhead cam. Actually a pretty progressive engine for that era.

Here is another video of the Pink Lady, this one shot at the Freak Show in 2004, the last time it was shown in public and the first time it was shown since around 1990 or so. The comments so totally rip on it...kinda ticks me off. Yes...it is out there design wise...but the thing is friggin amazing in my eyes!

The Holly Bug Spray is FORD also from their 6 cylinder engines.

My old baywindow had a Progressive on it with a Motorcraft choke.
I hated that carb.
