been offered some s/h heads at a reasonable price (ie less than having one spark plug heli-coiled), but I don't know what type of 1600 I have!

it's in a beetle - 69, but it's a recon 1600

cheers

if you look at the pipe that the carb sits on (the one that splits and goes to each of the heads) if it looks like one pipe that goes into the head its a single port and if it looks like 2 pipes half molded together its a twin port 馃檪

Hope that makes sense 馃檪

Here is a photo of My 1600 single port engine...

The yellow inlet manifold doesn't have any joints like a twin or dual port engine... its one piece only....

I hope that helps..
