The easiest way is to find a hot wire that goes to the left two blinkers and also a wire that goes to the right two. Then, attach one wire to one pole of a spst (simple on/off switch) and the other wire to the other terminal of the switch. Now when you have the new switch off, nothing is changed. When you turn your new (hazard/emergency) swit…[Read more]

edward ericson replied to the topic Car dying in idle after carb rebuild in the forum VW Based Kits 9 years, 4 months ago
Could be. You want to set the idle on a warm engine. Cold fast idle should be like 1400. The Muir book has the procedure. Don’t skip any steps!

How’s June 18 for y’all? That’s a Saturday.
We could do like Roy’s old team did: half hour stints on the rack for oil changes or suspension adjustments or what have you. I’ll put some beer in the cooler and some burgers on the grill.If June 18 is NG suggest another. -

You’re a good man, Ed. Figure out some method of TDr triage, and then have some fun comparing and discovering. It was at one of these meetings that my “Roy’s Lock” was introduced to the suicide door community. At the next meeting, all who had been to the prior meeting had installed them. (This was way before Al had invented the internet.)

A few hours fettling after work and I loaded her up.
I can just about walk upright under Bridget when she’s up with the top up. If I put the windshield down I’ll for sure get one more notch of lift, and that’ll give me full stand. Also planning on getting a tough old office chair with wheels, so I’ll be able to slide under anything else…Very psyched. -

Lot of work and a fair amount of money. I ended up using a white-faced 5-inch Classic Instruments unit, plus a ’73 Bug Speedometer, which is just shy of the same diameter.
Before I did that, I looked into buying real TD gauge cases and transferring the guts to them. Too much work and money for my blood. -
