Re: [T3] question-front blinker lights

Hi, I am old but new to T-3.  I was a master mechanic by 1960 and had one of the first VW T-1 The economy model with no gas gauge.  Finally, I bought a new 67 T-3 and a 66 Bus. I have wore out & blown-up everything the Germans could make.  I am butting in to say lets fix it the first time.

I sponsored Jerry Steiner 7700 T/F and help Brad Burger build the the nostalga front motor 2400 pound dragster.  Try this! Using 100 inch roll-out tires & 4.10 gear to go 255 mph in 5.83 seconds.  What was the RPM.  We won the NHRA 1999 HotRod Reunion and the 2000 Goodguys with a 1954 392 Chrysler motor making 4000 HP.
 
I can't believe the advice on this site.  You Fix the problem don't bury it in goo.  You live where alum screws & steel and salt live (electrophilic problem). It's called rust and the electrophilic coating remove all with a brush and the hole with a torch tip brush.

The compression ratio story had me fall out of my chair laughing 6.7 or 7.1.  Question, is what is the change in cp ratio per 1000 feet.  Pretend you live at sea level and drive to the top of Pike's Peek.  VW's need the 35 HP!  What is the difference in CP, the fuel air ratio and exhaust temp.  Remember Einstein was German  E=(MC)2

Good Luck.
