I then turned up the idle a bit and that seems to have worked. I did a test drive around the neighborhood and tried to stall it with some hard stops and no problems. Hoping that is all there is. Im not really a mechanic beyond the normal knowledge that men seem to possess as…[Read more]

I havent run into many alison owners. there are a few on here though. Its a nice little car. we have a unique color. Its silver and black so a little different color scheme. just switched out the wire wheels for stock vw with moon dosc. i actually like that better. i dont know much about…[Read more]

I also have an Alison but the original tank is not used. Instead there is a small fuel cell under the “hood”. Its basically an alluminum tank such as the one listed below. It works well.

I am going to just add some bumper spacers to the engine cover and let that be the simple fix. Its not the best but I don’t treat the car as a show car so a few imperfections aren’t going to kill me. Its simpler than sourcing a new alternator or going back to a generator simply for space.  I’m still having some…[Read more]

I took some pictures so you could see what i have as opposed to what you might have. Keep in mind i have never even looked at a VW before this one so i don’t know what looks normal and what does not. When i ordered the 1st replacement alternator i got one for a 1967 engine. But the one that they gave me was what i assume is a…[Read more]

If i did cut the carpet myself. how do i bind the edges? Im sure i could figure out how to cut it to the right fit but dont want the ragged edges that i assume will evenutually fray. Any suugestions? Good idea ednova. I would rather farm out the door panels.
