What do You think of a Weighted pulley on a standard crankshaft on a 1600 single port engine with single throat weber
extractors and a Bosch SVDA distributor..
on an Autostick semi auto beetle that has NO Flywheel....
just a Flexplate connected to the Torque Converter ????

Errr no Lee, I mean, spend the money on one if you want, best with a genuine Berg article though. (sarcasm font desired)

With the auto, the torque convertor is a large weight that can't be lightened so no real need....but you knew that hey ?? 😉
