What brand is your gauge? The VW sending unit is 10-80 OHMs, and was made by VDO. But many of the after market gauges such as VDO Cockpit Royale uses a 10-180 ohm sending unit. You have to match the unit to the gauge, because it is just an analog ohm meter as previously stated by others. The sending unit also come in different sizes, for different…[Read more]

Judson made a supercharger for VW’s in the 70’s. I put one on a Super V engine in a Berry Mini-t. The car weighed about 900 pounds and was put on a dyno and tested out at 400hp. I used it on a 1/8 mile drag strip in Muncie Indiana. We ran 15″ wide M&H drag slicks, and had serious weelie bars. It was street legal and fast.   I don’t think they ar…[Read more]

I love that pin. As soon as I start really trying to get the Lucas stuff to work I know I’ll start screaming.

I’ve got the red headed twin you shouldn’t have a problem with your sale.  Wish you were closer so I could have a look.

It’s to bad you don’t have time to finnish it.The car looks very nice.
 

 
Does that mean that you didn’t want to hear about the sign? Sorry.
Nice steering wheel.
How about a “Lucas – Prince of Darkness pin”? $6.95 from Moss.

Having owned a 1967 Land Rover I can attest to the fact that Lucas invented the intermittent wiper.
 
 

HAR!I keep buying accessories and stuff ever since I got the car. Dunno why.

 
I just bought a sign to go with the beautiful grill badge.

On Amazon for $19.95 + $7 shipping.
If I buy enough accessories can a car be far behind?
 

I too did the drum and bugle corps thing (waaaaaay back in the 60s) and won’t be able to make it. Work prevails and I must go to the left coast during that time period.

As a former band geek (and drum & bugle corpsman, for those initiates of the truly obscure), I salute you & your priorities, sadly. So who’s in?

Paul,
I’ve been deleting the topics as I find them. However, I do not have the admin access to delete their user ID’s or I’d be helping you with this problem.

How dare you conflict with the high school football season!
This sounds like a fun day Ed. I hope you get a great turnout!
My daughter is drum major of her high school marching band. All my fall Saturdays are dedicated to her! I’ll be with you in spirit, but not in my car.

Who is good for Saturday, September 24?Let me know if you can–or can’t–make it.I am currently plotting a 20-mile country cruise to go along with. Thinking we could meet late afternoon at a park and drive the back roads for about 45 minutes to Stoney’s. The roads around there are pretty nice.If we get more than two or three I’ll call Stoney ahead…[Read more]

That’s the discussion I was looking for.  Thank you Allen.

You have to make one yourself for your car.

I removed the small leaves and cut the beam and welded in adjusters top and bottom. This not only softened up the ride but lowered the front closing the gap between the fenders and tires. I like a slight rake downward in the front.

Just to pass along the FiberFab and CMC FiberFab kit info. Neither kit mentions anything about adding ballast. Both however do talk cutting the front beam, turn it and re-weld it. Removing the large and small springs is way easier.
