I am looking for any articles or adverts and any related information on the twin carburetors set up that were made by Ken Virgin in Adelaide during the 60s

Kits were made to suit both 36hp and 40hp Beetles

Photocopies or scans would be great

Ken also drag raced a Volkswagen around this time

Contact the volks enthusiast club or Adam Debiasi (08) 8262 7533.

He has his old race car and knows quite a lot about this car and the man.
T54

yeah i know Adam and his Dad Peter

his kits came with manifolds for 36/40 and 1300. a NOS set went a month or so ago on evilbay... went out of my price range

what do these ones look like?? Pic any one?

Hi

This is the set-up I sold on Ebay.

Steve

36 and 40hp mainifolds should have bought it n cornered the market LOL

i know i'm going to regret not finding the extra $$$ to get those for years to come. don't suppose you've got a second NOS set or even better a george reynolds set?

interesting setup. really well made manifolds from what I see there. what carb did they use, a 24pict?

28 pict 36hp carby

cool, the linkage looks dinky, but I guess it's doesn't need to be all that beefy.

No I didn't get any articles

i've got an article in an old aussie hot rod mag about fitting a ken virgin set,,its one of aprox 1 million mags in the back of my shipping container so not eaisly found due to my lack of filing skills.Ive gotta get in there soon for another guy so i'll dig it out soon.But iirc the kit i was looking at had dual zeniths.when i didn't have a 2300 w/idas i looked into these and iirc the rh carb wasn't hard to come by i think skodas had them but the lhs to get the acc arm on the corfect side was the issue i ran into.Norm beechy's monaro motors made a cool su set up that definatly wakes up a 36er.

That would be great if you could find anything coletrickle, thanks for the response.

What had the taller manifolds?? 36hp or 40hp?
