What do you think? Applicable to our VW bug engines? Any recommendations?

Best wishes,

Hi there,

anyone knows if there's a 67 site? or can I post in 66 forums too? close enough..

I bought a 67 bug but the old engine is busted completely... Engine no starts with E. literature says it is m240 low compression engine. anyone knows whre to get such engines?

Thanks...

I can't find extra wiring leading to the flasher that is disused,not cut. any possibility that some 66 bugs not fitted with EF? Mine's ...

HI there,

Wondering if my aug 66 bug was factory fitted with emergency flasher switch, my understanding was that only models after 66 had it...

Also, how different is the ignition/starter switch of 66 compared to say, 65 (1200) and 64?

Thanks

Evel.

Thanks,
