a few observations, the momo wheel, what diameter is it? Lbug speedos are impossible to see with anything smaller than 350mm breather box is for hooking up abit different to that usual install is either side goes to the rocker covers, and the front one drains back into the case, u have a mechanical fuel pump so cant drain back there, what i did was tapped into the side of the alt stand, u need to original breather hose still hooked to the air cleaner i did a howto somewhere on the bushing-o-doom think its in tech mods i also did one on igntion barrel and switch replacement but i never ended up putting it online add a relay while your at it

Went to micks yesterday and got some bits and pieces that i required. still have a long list - due to the fact that i want to lower the car at the same time as I fix up the brakes. this may not happen though as i really need to drive it for work ect. the next item on my list is the master cylinder. its one of those items that has a few people arguing over if it needs to be replaced or not. my theory is that if i do it alll at once, then its all done and i dont have to pull stufff apart again.

anyway, this is what i go from micks.

intake stuff

rear hoses

magnetic drain plug. 🙂

STIDUB Over it.

Thanks Paul!

Not far to go with the braking, just need a new master cylinder, machine the discs, to paint a few bits and pieces, and then get it all together. then this and that. need to get a better job though.... not earning enough to get ahead. bit lame.

is it over 2 litre?? I recon it would be sweet as a 1916 with twin spark, dtm fan, 44 IDF's. nice setup. one day.

for now though, just painting up a few more bits. Going to do the calipers Red, after my next pay. still need to take a bit more off the drums with emery tape. and the discs are yet to be machined. &, I still need a new MC, but that looks like it will have to wait to after new year, when i hopefully get a full time position.

Nvm. Answered my own question:

Pictured above is an example of what we are capable of with a Generation II MassIVe engine. This 2.9 lter engine features our proprietary twin spark plug arrangement and produces 249 HP and is installed into Beth Raby's 1979 VW Beetle Convertible!! As a full daily driver, this engine has achieved better than 30 MPG, even with monsterous 52mm IDA Weber carburetors!!!!

That pic is of the 2.9 but i went in it with a roller cammed 2270. 120ft.lb of torque at 1000 rpm is a nice experience.

Some shots of the carb re-kitting.

Dirty(ish) carb

bare mainifold

All the gaskets

it was a clean surface on the manifold and i cleaned the carb base, it seemed level enough.

Top main gasket

has 32 vents

Enrichment jigger

accel pump

Top cork gasket (for air cleaner)

The finished item, with intake boots and clamps on the manifold.

Now i just need an air cleaner... 🙂

WINGS!

The painted bits... rust is not my friend, so I'm preventing it!

Hadn't driven the car in 4 or 5 weeks.... and only had 9psi in the rears.

not an issue they have a spring which returns them back soon as theres no pressure ie cable pulling on the lever
just leave it be, or even hook up a choke cable if u have cold start probs in winter
