Hello,
So sorry for this beginners question but I am new to VW bugs and not 100% sure. I purchased this 1967 VW from my neighbor who owned it since she was 16YO. According to her the motor is a 1200cc engine.
But when I looked up the number on the motor is coming up as a 1500cc. Can anyone confirm this?
I want to replace the carb and fuel pump before attempting to start it. It has not been driven nor started in more than a year. Thanks in advance.

USA model Beetles were 1500cc engines with H engine numbers.
However, if that engine has been rebuilt, it might be 1600cc now as those cylinders simply slip in, and 1500cc (83mm) cylinders and pistons haven't been made for a while. _________________ 1970 VW (owned since 1972) and 1971 VW Convertible (owned since 1976), second owner of each. The '71 now has the 1835 engine, swapped from the '70. Second owner of each. 1988 Mazda B2200 truck, 1998 Frontier, 2014 Yukon, 2004 Frontier King Cab. All manual transmission except for the Yukon. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/album_page.php?pic_id=335294 http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/album_page.php?pic_id=335297 |
