Were 1967 Beetles 12 volt or 6 volt? And Gearbox info
Hi Guys
Were the 1967 beetles 6 volt or 12 volt?
My chassis number is: 197644158.
Also, I am trying to determine some information on the gearbox I have fitted to my 1967 beetle. There are 2 sets of number:
113-301-103
AB 26 04 3
From my searching ( http://www.partsemporium.co.uk/Gearboxcodes.htm ) it looks as though the gearbox was built of 26th April 1973???
Thanks guys for any help you can provide.
Regards
Greg

Depends which month yr car was made, after august 67 will make it a 68, a pic of the car would help. 67 - 68 is the changeover year for electrics as
well as major body differences. AB code denotes 1300 box up to August 1970 (they went to IRS after that)

Hi Guys
It is Stengun's old Blue 1967 and I am trying to figure out what everything is.
It is a swing axle gearbox. I also noticed that it has a plug on the nose cone for I think a reversing switch.
Regards
Greg

That's all overseas info, doesnt apply in Oz
We stayed swing axle till 75 and we kept making the old 6 volt beetles till march 68 when the factory was shut down and they were fully imported for a
few months.
We didnt start making the new 12 volt 68 fatchicks till late 68.

Yep, the 74 1300TP was a swing axle bug ( I own 2 of them !).......and yes the plug is for the reverse light. The 74 1300 had 'elephant tail
lights' with the reverse light.

Thanks guys
So, in summary, it's a gearbox from a 12 volt 1974 beetle. The 1974 date also correlates to the 1974 steering column that was also installed in the
car.

Greg
