before and half way after. Well I guess I need to use a third party photo storage, because I cannot add more photos.

I updated the post to add the picture you ask for.

Hello all, I just finally found a 66 bug. My question is my engine code is UB068502. I have no idea which engine I have. Its a converted 12 volts system. Its also a single port.
