Well, kinda. As of this past Tuesday, I am the proud owner of a '68 Hardtop Westphalia! Yeah, I know it isn't a bug, but I can still sorta baja it out. Already...
Walk through with cup holder, front seats and that trailer hitch. But where did the rust come from? P & C This list has been quiet Clay Dugger wrote: Well,...
Man that's alot of cancer... Looks like some welding practice and replacement panels in your future. :) Hope you got a great deal on it. -Jeff ... Walk through...
I dropped my head nut in my push rod tube it fell all the way down!!!!! EXPLATIVE EXPLATIVE!!!! anyways I would like to know if someone could tell me to do...
... Well, for a hardtop Westy, running and drivable, I think $1400 was a great deal. Down here in Texas, ANY running camper under $2000 is unheard of. Won't be...
Forgot to mention...nice list Clay. Looks like you know way more about VWs than I. :) -Jeff ... __________________________________________________ Do You...

Having a little problem. At seemingly random times, the bus just dies. No spitting and sputtering. No warning. Just dies. 1600, dual port, Bosch coil, .009....
My 89 jeep did the same thing, as it turned out the electronic's in the dizzy were going south. Get out and "tap" on the dizzy and it would fire back up. Guess...
I would get a new set of points and condensor. The condensor removes extra energy that doesnt need to go thru the points. If its old sometimes it will allow to...
Don't know if the points are stuck. Wouldn't the shaft free them? And, I effectively have been tapping on it. It always restarts after I remove and replace the...
Hi Clay, long time no talk (baja1641 Mike here) ... anyway you might want to check your ignition switch, sometimes a lifetime of heavy keys wears it out, or it...
Have a friend with a 009? Swap them out? -Jeff ... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best...
I'm more inclined to go with the coil first. I have seen coils fail under heat, only to work again once they (& not the ambient) have cooled off. This is one...
Stock coils & the Blue coils have an internal voltage dropping resistor. This is why stock ACVW's do not have a ballast resistor or resistance wire like points...
Oh...ok! Thanks. I didn't know this. (that's why I'm here!) I've just always seen them mounted vertical or at 45*. Just assumed it was for a clean look. :) ...
Here's one line of thought that is a bit off - have you checked all the ignition switch wires? My first baja did that "instant dead" trick on the way home...
All you guys are sayin what I'm thinkin. I don't think it's the rotor or the distributor. After dinner, I'm checking the wires going to and from the coil, and...
Well, went down and checked it out. It's the distributor. Something inside is definitely hinky. When it's acting up, I can raise the rotor/shaft assembly about...
If you look at the top of the distributor you will see a line,like someone to a hacksaw and made a line in it. Line up you rotor with tha line so when you drop...
Glad to hear that you got'r'dun! :) I'm on my first baja, so I know all about how difficult it can be the first time you set-out to accomplish something. My...
I have to agree with Mt. Duck on this. The rotor pushing against the top of cap will prevent the dist. shaft from lifting when the cap is on. Also is the...
... Switch the distributor Friday night. You know the washers at the bottom of the shaft, just above the notched head (the part that goes into the gears)?...
