<x-flowed>JimThe 66/67 have ignition in different locations, I was wondering about the steering wheel possibly not being all the way on I just havent checked, because it looks like the nut is tight. The cap is off. I had a chance to get a 67 column, but viewed it and it was different, have you seen the pic of Rik's? his is 67 LHD. BTW update on maisy, the guy who worked on my car was wrong. and chargedfor services NOT RENDERED the carbs never have been rebuilt, and the "cap"he put on he didnt. I flipped the wires after discovering the dizzy was 180 out and I located # 1 plug and drive it every day. Daniel fixed the nylon shift bushing, and CJ bled the brakes, in addtion to Daniel did a valve job, and put a shift coupler in, in addtion to removing the drive shaft gear for the dizzy ( cheap puller @ 14.99) and replacing it in the correct position, fat side nearest bolt on fan shroud lid and it is now timed perfectly with a $10.00 timing light from harbor freight tools. I have since removed the motor and installed all the engine tin and replaced all exhaust gaskets, with help from my seven year old daughter, she was helping my freind lefty lucy righty tighty all by herself when I turned around from the grinder after fixing my header. my freind knew where the tin went and we had an engine stand, out the motor came I have readjusted the throttle stop's after reinstallation and I love my car. + i am happy i didnt shell out thousands of $, I have four seatbelts and I am legal.!

The PO removed the ignition and yes Jim he neglected to include the little disc with the car when I bought it. My blinker bar and base are wobbly and and only the high beam lever works, my turn signals are not working. there is a great deal of play in the blinker bar/ring area. I want to replace the lousy aftermarket ignition .I have a source for an ignition and was hoping not to have to purchase a column, since it is 66 only(?) I am hoping to be able to locate such at a local Bugorama event this weekend. I have been reading Rik's smoking ignition issue and was hoping someone could advise. What is recommended?I think 66 & 67 are the same, so that may help you a bit. If your TS switch is loose, you might just try pulling off the steering wheel first to make sure that it's not as simple as some loose or missing screws. I can sometimes rebuild the switches, but that depends on whats missing or broken, and I've never done one as early as a '66, so there's always a chance that it's different enough that I couldn't be of any help. If you take the wheel off, mark its position first, so you can put it back the same way. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Unsubscribe?
