See you there Montie. Don’t forget to unlock your steering.

PS Sorry you will not be there – bummer

JackI know my friend Greg ( Wolfgang ) was looking for a room and I am sure more.I will ask – otherwise if nobody wants them here than someone on the Speedster site will

Rain here in Ohio the next few days so I won’t get much drive time, or maybe I’m just anxious.  Tow bar attached, drive shaft disconnected, light bar on back, rain X on windshield and car mostly packed with tools, tent, tarp and just about anything else I think I might need  .  Still have to put top up and side curtains on.

Could you send me a couple of pictures?If what I think they are – I will take.PM me- thanks

I have a pair ( right and left) of older rectangular mirror that are held on by set screws for clamping to grove.  I bought them at a auto flea market at few years ago, they have some pitting but you should be able to clean them up.   

I suspect that you may have a Holley Bugspray carb. Probably a model 2100. If so, it is not progressive. Also, if the idle mix screws are facing forward then it is mounted backwards (from most installations). I really do like mine. If you search this site for bugspray there are some of my ramblings about it. And on YouTube I posted my…[Read more]

The 2bbl Weber progressive came standard on Ford Pintos. It was adapted for the VW and works great–once it’s set up right–and if you have a good manifold that gets it some heat from the heads so it doesn’t ice up.
