I have the above car, I want to order a new clutch and throttle cables. Also wanna get new plugs. Anyone know the correct lengths and type plugs. Thanks. It's a carberated dual port engine. I wanna do a compression test but figure id replace plugs while there out.
Thanks

Nobody on the samba ever bought a clutch cable for early 80s Mexican bug?

I remember hearing those Mexican bugs of that era described as "a 68 with late model taillights".

Get a "universal" throttle cable and cut it to length, take out a sprak plug and see if its 1/2 or 3/4 reach, measure your clutch cable? Maybe you can start there.
