67 with j-pipes

[shakers73]

Hello, everyone. Just got my hands on a 67 beetle. Pretty much stock. Need to source a pair of front seats, and set of heater boxes.

What all is usually removed when switching to j-pipes? The fresh air hoses are missing and 2 smaller hoses that connect to the oil bath air filter. What are they called and what do they connect to under the rear tin? Any ideas on where I might source these items?

Heat Exchangers can be installed with the engine in, but being you are a beginner it probably would be easier to just pull the engine out,

You are missing the lower rear cylinder tins also.

The original VW dealer Parts Manual is accessible thru this website:

http://www.oacdp.org/

The type 1 parts manual is thru the "Upcoming" button at the top of that webpage. Lots of need to see exploded diagrams, proper parts names and parts numbers that can be used to find parts thru WWW searches.

You also need this manual ASAP:

Check your local used book store for a good used copy for less, or the classifieds here on this website, or any VW swap meets.

What E&B said.

The pipes that connect the smaller preheat tube to the air cleaner are called "Stove Pipes." They connect to the exhaust port studs when all the proper tins are in place.

When you source a set of heat exchangers. You will also need the "sled Tins."
That go under the push rod tubes. This should be in the diagram linked above.

Regarding seats. If you want stock seats. There are two models in the 67 year. Early seat bottoms had a lever at the pivot to release the seat back. Later seats had the release lever on the door side of the seat back.
Personally, I would like to have a set of seats like your car has. I tend to corner rather aggressively. Causing my body so shift across the seat bottom on stock seats. Depending which direction I'm turning.

Good Luck.

Good, solid looking car. I think you are on the right path putting it back original... not to far off the target.

the what looks to be a giant mouse nest around the #2 exhaust pipe where the muffler attaches to the head (or is that the gravel below, difficult to tell from your pics), as well as the missing heater 'bulb' on the left side tells me you should consider installing a new muffler.

better pics, and some pics of the underside of the engine can help determine what you need to go back to a more stock configuration.

this is the preheating pipe and tin set up for a '67.
be aware that the 40hp left tin looks the same, but is about 1/2" shorter/
send me a pm or contact me through one of my classified ads if you need any of the tins or preheater pipes, i have them available.

use copious amounts of antisieze on the exhaust parts!

Nice 67, I had one that color once, his name was Newton.

Bug On!

Shroud is non-DH. Engine looks pretty good than other missing so much tin, hopefully it was not run hard or too long that way.

Agreed, you should really get a stock type muffler. If you want to get full flow oil filtration you should get a muffler that has the heat riser pipe on the right side, and one of the CB Maxi 2 or stock Mexican oil filter pumps. While neither oil filter pump was stock for 1967, having all the usual crud not go thru the bearings is good for the longevity of the engine between rebuilds.

You have the thermostat bracket, but looks like the rest is MIA.

Need to get the rubber plug in the rear apron!

You will definitely need a proper muffler as the one you have doesn't appear to have the housings over the pipes for the exchangers to attach to.

Other than that, it looks like what the others have pointed out is mostly it. The rear tins with the holes and the stove pipes can be tough to find, but they pop up here every so often.

I have been working on the same project on my 67.

[hazetguy]

the generator is installed 90 degrees off. that should be corrected, as correct orientation provides for proper air flow for the generator.
really nice to see the original, "67 only" carb support bracket.
you have no thermostat, but i think you knew that already.

Yeah, I'll get it all sorted, before I put her on the road.

One more question, What are the correct heat exchangers? I've found some in the classifieds that are listed as being for 58-67 and others that are for 63-74?

Your looking for fresh air type heat exchangers. Any 65-66- 73year will fit. Probably more years. But that is a safe range.

$10 a piece. That's a deal!

Good Luck.
