Thanks for your reply Dave. *THIS* is the grass-roots info I'm looking for and when I mentioned to my wife about snagging another state we've never been to, she jumped on it. I said told her you might have a place to sleep in a shed and she was even more on board! I know I didn't mention

I've ventured into the world of smart phones over the past year or 2 and of course since I'm so cheap, I can't buy them new. I taught myself (via youtube) how to fix Samsung Galaxy S4 units so I like to buy them with problems and combine the good parts to make a good working one - just like I

Yeah Bruce losing Rob was a shock. We had a great time on our 2001 California trip. The 3 of us started the Buskatiers group and this year is our 20th year anniversary of Bustoberfest - our annual gathering at Indian Cave State Park. We had a chat and got caught up and since I've been out of

That's a toughy Ray and I'm sorry I can't help you with that. I would encourage you to do some deep scans on youtube and see if you can find anything on there. Also, in depth thread searches on thesamba could also help. They haven't helped me much with my quest for the stroker VW engine

NQ, Longish on FI. The 68 has been running megasquirt for 14 years. After I replaced the pistons and cylinders I decided to leave the turbo off to be able to get to places that I plan to update(edis and wide band o2 instead of narrowband). Works just fine that way although I did retune it

I’m still here and glad to see others are too. Agreed that Facebook feels weird and isn’t a good replacement listserv. Sad news about Bill May, feel bad for missing the report or worse, forgotten. He was always a huge help. Terrible news too about Rob Laffoon. He was always cool to me when

I will bug one of my friends who has w fuel injected bug. I know he did it budget minded and used megasquirt. Think he used some fox body mustang parts and milled up a crank trigger wheel. Strangely thinking FI and vws makes me think of Sharkey. That car just got parted out a short time ago after

Yep Jeff that's the same Bill May. His stamped louvered deck lid is now on my 67 bus. He dropped it off on his way to California. As I recall Bill got home from a funeral of a friend and succumbed to death himself. These guys who lived ot are getting older and there is a steady stream of loss

Hi Dave.  Thanks for your reply!  You analogy about relatives picking up from where they left off from is perfect.  That's what this is.  :) I want this engine for my 62 double cab and 67 bus.  I would not build this way for a big, but torque is king in the bus and I want it all and I want it

"Yes when Bill died I felt so bad." Is that Bill May? I believe I have his last name correct. This "Bill" I believe lived up north and then moved to California. He was a walking encyclopedia on VW's. He helped me on several occasions when I was restoring my 70 bug. Very nice and helpful.
