Seeing as it was the last year for 6V, my assumption is that there would have been two different diameter 12V generators. I know that my 71 has the larger diameter 12V generator. So it happened somewhere btween 68 and 71. > > Either way, make sure the fan housing matches your generator diameter. <G> > > There were 2 different diameter 6V generators, BUT the larger one was only used on Police and Ambulance service vehicles. There were 2 different 12V generators, but the difference was in the wire terminals, not the diameter. The early 12V's had push on style connectors, and the the later had studs with nuts. I am not sure when the change was made, but my '69 parts car has the push on connectors. BTW, I have never re-torqued VW heads, unless I was chasing a pulled head stud. -- Russ Wolfe '66 FB MT (It drove) '71 FB AT '65 Bug (not running) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
