Dean,
oh, that is nice one! Wish a could weld aluminum!
The contour throttle body was one thing I suggested to NQ.
Cheers, dave

NQ, I've always been a lurker (since the 80's) but certainly enjoy your posts.
I will try, in the future, to comment so you know there is interest. I will
always read a good technical or vw related post. Keep it up. BTW I ran across
this from a couple years
ago...

You probably saw it too. Keep us up to date on your project, and I'll do the
same, if I get a chance to put my bug back together. I'm upgrading to an
alternator so I can run an electric heater. The old generator wasn't cutting
it. I also need to weld some holes that have appeared in my heater boxes. But
first I have to re-wire my welder... and clean my shop...

NQ, have you checked with Jake Raby, wealth of information and reminds me
of Gene Berg, although nicer ;^)

Thanks Ray. I used to amaze myself with my articles I wrote simply
because
I hated writing so much in school. When I could type my thoughts, it
seemed
to flow so much easier.
I've been scanning the net for the parts I'll need to do the conversion
on a
type 1. The choices are endless, but one thing I'm discovering is that
the
one TPS I need, is the one that costs so blooming much...like 60 to 80
bucks
easy. Yet there are TPS units from other cars - less easy to work with -
for well under 10 bucks and sometimes under 5. It looks like I will be
getting resourceful and possible even utilizing some 3D printing to make
adapters.
If I'm ever in PA, I will take you up on your offer. Enid and I were
coming
back from Maine last October and had a 13 hour layover in Philadelphia
primarily because I didn't notice the different between AM and PM on the
flight itinerary. That was a long day.
I'm assuming that FI isn't something most guys are interested in due to
the
lack of response on here and that is okay. I was doing even more
brainstorming today about what I would do if my FI system crashed so then
I
started thinking about putting a TPS on a 34-pict-3 and just leaving the
fuel shut off to the carb. If anytime my tps failed, I'd disable
everything
including the fuel pump, and switch over to old carburetor mode so I could
keep on going.
Carburetors just don't impress me now that we have FI and with the pull of
Dave's 1776 etched in my mind, I can't say no any more. Just gotta work
toward saving some bucks by being a bit more ingenious with how to home
brew
this entire thing.
