There’s only 1 left in stock at that Amazon site.

Allen, Yep it does.  I installed one last week. 

Mike,
Does the 3487 muffler come equipped with the preheat connections for the intake manifold?

Here’s a rather lengthy discussion on hubcaps…
https://tdreplica.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=795&K W=hubcaps
As you will see when you read that thread, the probem is that we cannot find a current source for either Porsche style “nipple” hubcaps or VW style with the “flat center” without some other company logo.

Yes, I bought a relatively affordable used VW tow bar, and found that its original U shaped axle troughs did not fit my squared off axles. 
It took a couple of trips, but now the reinforced bar slips right on without any trouble. 
with my old unreliable engine in her, I just left the tow bar on.  When she broke down, I got a ride home and pi…[Read more]

 Greg, MGLondonRoadster has the same front end. He had a VW tow bar modified at a local welding shop to fit this type suspension. It took him a couple of trips to the shop to get it to fit but he said it worked out in the end.
 I think another member welded brackets to the car’s suspension to attach  the VW tow bar . I don’t know if the tow bar en…[Read more]

I agree, it simply looks good.

When you go in for an oil change or basic tune-up, your mechanic may offer an engine flush. Motor flushes are among those services that are offered much more frequently than they are really needed. Source of article: The basics of an engine flush. 

Do you still have this one? what about the heater kit?

edsnova,
e-mailed gbdick his car front end is the same as mine.Somehow they were able to put vw tow bar on it.He lives 5 or 6 hrs from me.
think spring

Great tip, Joe, thanks!

Ahh, the dreaded 009 “flat spot.”If you figure out the tow bar thing let us know. I carry a random assortment of tools right now, but intend this spring to correct my carry-on to conform closely to Muir’s “stage 2” tool kit. Anything beyond that i figure is why AAA exists.

I really like the shot with the skyline. Just gorgeous!

Ed, I’m going from a 009 (100% centrifugal) to a 231 137 035 (100% vacuum) advance distributor as a bit of an experiment.  I am taking out a 009 that was timed at max advance of 30-32 degrees.  I only get about 23 mpg and do have a slight hesitation when passing through 2300rpm on accelleration.   It’s not too bad, – I’m just playing.  I usua…[Read more]

Vacuum advance. Don’t understand this general attachment to the 009.I keep the point kit in the car and actually used it last year when she conked out on the way to Bug Out in Manassas. Turned out to be a bad coil, but the swap did work. I swapped it back after I got home.You might get away with more than 30 degrees total timing, or even a few…[Read more]

Ed Thanks fo rthe pics   awesome !.. jebarry40939.4962384259

Ed, Which distributor do you have?  I was planning to set the advance at 28-32 favoring 32 (assuming that it ran well).  If all goes well today, I will put my “new” 231 137 035 stock SVA in and keep my 009 in my trunk  with points set and ready to go as a spare. 

I’ve got Valvoline 20-50 racing oil in there now, with extra ZDDP. I think 10-40 would be better though, except for maybe July-August.Change it at 2000 miles or so. I think I did 2350 or so with the full synthetic I accidentally bought last year (Royal Purple; didn’t read the label). By 2000 she’d used half a quart so I needed to top up. I put in…[Read more]
