Well, as I mentioned in my previous post my Beetle is a 1600 with cams. The stock air boxes for the 1300 were too restrictive (even with high flow air filters) so I designed and 3D printed these. Now time to do a road test to see if the car won’t choke.2yr ⋅ ubiratamuniz ⋅ r/beetle

Honest question, I feel like every single non-restored beetle has its engine cover panels’ paint more faded and damaged than the rest of the car, anyone know why that is? This is a bad reference photo since the left wheel-well panel is also faded but overall, it’s the engine cover most times I see1yr ⋅ hlyeb ⋅ r/beetle

I really like this engine combo. Simple, relatively affordable, good torque and HP and the Webers bark nicely! 1776/CB 2242 cam/AA pistons and cylinders and 40x35.5 heads. I love the distributor... it’s an 031 from a 69 912. Super long advance curve!4yr ⋅ dadsbug ⋅ r/beetle
