a 1302 is a strut front end Beetle what we call a Superbug
a 1303 is also a strut front end but has a curved front screen or what we call a L Bug

1302/1303
I alway thought a Superbug had a curved screen!!
Now I have no idea what I have,
even the year [1976] is in doubt.
Flat screen for a flat head.

go to http://www.superbeetlesonly.com and have a read there
it describes it well
basically
1302 -
S bug
flat screen
3 bolt mac struts
1971-1972
1303 early
L bug
curved screen
3 bolt mac struts
1973
1303 late
L bug
curved screen
2 bolt mac struts
1974
1303 1975
L bug
curved screen
2 bolt mac struts
rack and pinion(sp?) steering

Have a look at Steve C's beetle or Jak Rizzos' or Dieter Holzl
They are all 1302's

The 1300 was a standard Beetle made from 1971>
They had drum brakes all round... Swing rear axle..
The 1302 was a SuperBug - flat windscreen - flat spare tyre-
IRS rear end- McPherson front suspension. [struts]
The 1303S was a SuperBug - Curved windscreen - flat spare tyre - IRS rear end - McPherson front suspension. [struts]
The 1976 standard Beetle had a flat windscreen- upright spare tyre - IRS rear end - ball joint torsion bar front end.
VW kept the best until LAST --- IMHO..Of course...
ALL Beetles in the USA from 1969> had IRS rear suspension
& DRUM brakes.... Standards & supers - both 1600 engines..
