Barry Nichols writes... I have a line on a 1978 bus with a 1974 SUPER BEETLE engine (???!!!). Does this raise any hackles? Also the bus is possibly in need of some carb work. He said that the bus floods and stalls at stops and that he had it fixed before but it's starting to happen again. Anyone hear of this before? No but I've imagined putting a Type I engine in a 72-79 bus. If you get a look at this unit, please see how they handled the engine tin to body seal? +=======================+ | Richard Kurtz | .-----------------------------------. | rmk@tyrell.net | /_____________________________________\ | (816)322-2176 | /""""/""""/"|"""||"""||"""||"""||"""| | | | / / / | || || || || | | | 67 Deluxe Microbus | /____/____/___|___||___||___||___||___| | | 71 Bug | /----------========|======================| | 64 Deluxe Microbus | |O\ /V\ /O =.| | | (under construction) | | \ \W/ / | | | | |() \ / () __ | | | Looking for 68-71 Bus | | \ / / \ .---- | +=======================+ <==C======C==>_| () |<============>| () |_<==> || \\\__/ \\\__/ \\\__/ \\\__/ """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" (If the person I shamelessly stole the start for my bus drawing will email me I will give them proper credit.
