| Date: | Tue, 21 Feb 95 10:44:54 EST |
I have a '66 bus, kombi, I believe. The VIN #'s match title
and the book shows them to indeed be '66. The motor is
another story. It is a 1600, verified by two knowledgable
mechanics (one at a dealer that I trust - I know, I know!).
The problem is the motor has NO #'s, anywhere. It does have
VW jugs, not aftermarket. Do I assume the cases are
aftermarket? How do I I.D. this motor, as in Type II or III
maybe? Are there subtle differences anywhere that would
give me solid clues? I realise I may be asking for too much
but clues would make me happy. I've searched the books but
engine #'s seem to be required and I have none. HELP! I
don't even know why I want to know but eventually it will
probably come in handy. I've replaced exhaust system and
clutch with very few parts problems so far.
p.s. - thanks to all who responded re: pop-out windows. I
think I have found two possible sources that I can actually
get to in a days drive. I appreciate it.Have something to add on this topic today? Revive this thread in the forum »
