I was curious , On the master Cylinder for the front, one side looks to have a residual valve on one wheel but not the other? why is that? On my bus I have a residual valve on both front lines and one going to the back. Used same type master as you have but my master doesnt have any residual valves on it. my brakes seem really hard to get good stopping power. I have to press pretty hard . Any comments?

My Master Cylinder was from Empi Most likely a different manufacturer. This is a 4 wheel disc master cylinder. Residual valves have been removed.

@@the_Wagen Thanks, but it looks like those brass pieces in the MC are still attached and you connected your brake lines to them. they are pointed to the driver side I think. arent those residual valves?

Always thorough with your explanations. Just inherited a set of Dellortos 45s and will reference this video when I get tgem cleaned and installed. A friend of mine has the Dellorto book in his garage and no more VWs so I think I'll make the drive and go pick it up.

Another great video! I replaced the original CB hex bar linkage that came with my dual Dellorto 40 assembly after a few years - with a Berg linkage. Had to order (2) longer arms from Berg to reach the throttle shafts. Huge difference in throttle response and lighter pressure on the pedal.

When you did get it running, almost sounded like the fan was noisy - perhaps the nut was loose or the fan was scraping against the sheetmetal. Also at full suspension droop, the muffler was up against the RR brake caliper.

Fan is fine. The muffler does touch the caliper at full drop. This car rides extremely low. It’s nowhere near it while driving. Good eye. 👍🏽

How did you cover the differential for the tamale when you put it in the "dishwasher" at 29 minutes in? Looks like you used orange duct tape? Any pointers here would be great! Thanks man.

@@the_Wagen Understood, would be great if you made the sleeves for the type 3 already bent with the stud and holes already drilled. That wat all I would have to do is unbolt the coller , cut and drill the hole for the lower sleeve to bolt to the beam. I don't have access to welding equipment where I'm located. Is the pre-bent sleeve ideal a possible item you could make and sell??

I had my Bug almost a year. I like to go dual carbs, but I like to know is it worth doing does it make the engine run better or save gas? I see people do it. I’m just curious cause I would like to do it. I have a 1641 engine I was looking at you, Solex carbs, is it worth getting?

@the_Wagen 28 күн бұрын

If you are looking to upgrade, I’d suggest upgrading the ignition at the same time. Stock components and just adding dual carbs works if everything else works well. 👍🏽

Yeah, I got the ignition added already I’m just trying to look for consistency. It’s my daily driver. It’s nice and clean engine, nice and clean transmission nice and clean. no oil anywhere. that’s why I was wondering if dual carburetters would help my car out. thank you for your time for helping me.

If I were to add dial carbs, I’d stay with an IDF / HPMX platform. Kadrons, Solex, ICT’s are not my favorite.

@the_Wagen 14 күн бұрын

@@jimgerock9190THIS IS JUST MY OPINION. ICT carbs seem to have blown throttle shafts out of the box. Plus most single throat carbs are "sloppy". The IDF design(dual throat) revs quickly when properly tuned, and are more efficient.

The Ross Wulf parts look amazing as well. I wish they had a 356 sized alternator pulley setup. I use those to get a higher fan speed and aid in cooling.
