I stuff a blue rag into the carb throat(s) while doing such work on an
assembled engine. You could also add a magnet in the area to attract a dropped

Chrome vs. silver interior
Volks,
The1970models of most Volkswagensin the USA got non-glare dashboard
and steering-wheel fittings. Chrome trim rings and horn rings were
replaced by non
the outboard levers for type 3 use, and it's best to cut those
off, as they really get in the way.

Are the wide 5 rims introduced in 66 the same type of rims that Porsche
used on their cars?
Previously, I had thought that they were different, that the Porsche
wheels had an extra air vent
I think so.

the '80's is a late Westy.

it's running (carefully!) If it starts to charge
(the dash warning light goes out), the the brushes are worn and
replacing them may fix you problem cheaply and easily.

It sounds like your generator or voltage (not bilge!) regulator are not
working to keep the batt charged. If you disconnect the batt positive
post with it running and the engine dies, then you're running on your
battery. It could be worn generator brushes.

to correctly hook-up as most aftermarket dual carbs have no port
for this specifically-timed vacuum signal. Hooking up the retard port on
the dizzy is only necessary for reduced emissions on deceleration, so
most people don't use this anyway.
