And the PO was complaining about the price in 2006!
Sheesh!

one plug is 60- 79 years

the other is 68-79 lol


does that mean the 60-79 plug will fit the 68-79 but not vice versa lol

confusing!

The Beetle ones work. I bought a set to use on a 73 Beetle (son's car). Never actually installed them on his car, he sold it, so I put them on my 71 181. They fit perfect.
