Received an order from Bughaus today. Very high quality on everything - but the oil filler nut removal tool said Empi on it. I had to file it into the proper shape to fit my German oil filler nut. Oh well, works fine now. The other half dozen items I got were all really nice. _________________ Repeat after me "I am smarter than metal!" |

Something is not adding up on this one. VIN stamp indicates 1976, as well as the reg.
Advertised as a (1999 Model).
Nice car anyway. Just seems a bit off in the advert. _________________ I have learned over the years.

Ah, I see it now.
It's still a shady add, at least to me. It doesn't specifically say 76 pan with a later body mounted to it. _________________ I have learned over the years.

I wouldn't mind the prices if the seller actually SENT the parts you bought. AllstockVW seems to be a real VW shop in California. Selling here in the classifieds. Sent them my dough, they never sent tracking info, much less the parts. Now they totally ignore my calls and emails.
A little miffed at this point. |

Glove compartment lock/knob for a '73 Super. Installed less than a year ago. Opened the glove box this morning and it fell apart in my hands.

Beautiful car but Nah. I am, however, *REALLY* curious about the carb setup as shown in one of the engine pictures. I have the same exact carb and I see this has the lower-right rear vacuum port connected into a T-that goes to the air cleaner pre-heat valve. I'm curious as hell as to why that is and if I should try it on my '73 just to see what it does. _________________ Eventually, "we are what we pretend to be.

Actually - taking a closer look at that engine shot, the t-isn't from the lower right port on the carb - that goes to the black dashpot - it's connected to the RETARD port on the rear of the carb! Calling the carb gurus to explain THAT one. The car is running an SVDA and I know for a fact that carb throttle plate has the smaller hole used by the SVDA, not the larger one required for US-spec DVDA distributors. Even more puzzling. _________________ Eventually, "we are what we pretend to be.

Have you guys ever gotten a PM from someone here on the Samba that you dont know?
I get them from time to time, and I try to give them good advice. Sometimes I have to spend a bit of time researching for them. But its all good. Ive asked for help and gotten it, so paying it forward is a good thing.
However, I have gotten a few of these PMs, and I do what I can to help, and
I never get a reply, or a thank you in return for my efforts.
Fucking weird.
