Ah, the excitement of a Whitney catalog.
I picked up a couple of goodies for the Ghia back in the day. My favorite was the "Spark King" Spark plug power booster

Does JCW still offer the "all gaskets for a beetle molded on to one sheet of rubber" kit? You just cut out what you need. I saw one at Kelley Park last weekend and almost bought it for garage art...
