Do full flow oil filtering instead, as that will bring you some real benefit. Watch your CR, unless you plan to buy special gas for the rest of this car's life. Today's pump gas probably won't work. > 2) I remember reading in either Muir's Idiot book, 'How to Hot Rod VW > engines', or 'Baja Bugs and Buggies' that there was an adjustable main jet > available for the 34-PICT1 Bug carb on high-altitude cars. Does anyone have > the part number for this jet, and will it fit the stock 32PSDIT carbs? I don't think it was any of the books above, but I've seen the picture, too. Unless you're in the mountains, I wouldn't bother, because that part is going to be REALLY hard to find. I've never seen one. I think they were available for type 3s, but the only place you're likely to find one would be in a Rocky Mountain junkyard, and you will need TWO. > 3) What was the first year for dual port heads on the T3s? 67 -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
