So what would have been appropriate speed parts for 1972. I'm trying to work up a budget. My ideal result is a period factory performance look not pimped out period custom. So more go then show. I'm willing to have hidden (under the hood isn't hidden in my book) 'modern' parts
So what would be appropriate for 1972? Dual webers? Judson supercharger? What would a performance air cleaner look like oil bath or paper?
Is there much that can be done with suspension of a type 1?
Braking I assume front discs.

Got a copy of the Bill Fisher book "How to Hot Rod VW Engines" handy? (it's from 1970 and covers more than just engines - and I don't believe any of the reprints over the years were ever revised or updated)
