Year, engine size? There wasnt anything like that on mine and I havent seen much like that on a lot of pictures around here. Was it an add-on option for cold weather?

I knew that the aircooled had a thermostat, but was under the assumption it was a cold weather package kinda deal. psst guess what I WAS WRONG! Hey look, I can admit it Wink

Joking aside, summer cruiser, do I need to screw with it?

Got any pics of the parts on the engine so I can see the relationship of everything to each other?

Eh, searches are for sissies Wink

ITS A JOKE!

Thanks for the pic. Purely speculation but the kickout in the linkage that would be forward of the engine is what makes it specific to doghouse vs non doghouse correct? A non doghouse im guessing will be mostly straight?

Sorry to se some getting bent out of shape on other peoples opinions.
I just wish when I had a bug (58)in 59 that I had known more about it and had a resource like SAMBA to go to, I would not have burned a valve and would have known how to do a complete tune up myself and not have to take it to a garage to have it repaired.
Thanks for all the good info here.
I just bought a 69 and my wife says I am restoring it but I just call it making it road worthy.
Thanks guys!!! Laughing

So I gotta ask, how many times did this situation fuck with you on an engine build before you put 2 and 2 together?

So are you saying that all your life you have always known about the 2 different types of housings and have never confused the 2 or tried to mix them up?

Im sure I will, but as you already know I have 1 of 1 type so I have nothing to compare it to. The car had it on, obviously the car ran and still could so I had no reason to doubt any of the equipment that was on it.
