Watch me and my dad as we save hot rods, classics, muscle cars, and even the occasional VW. In the last 30 years, we have rebuilt hot rods that have made the pages of Hot Rod and Rod and Custom magazines and have won prizes in the car shows where entered. Now we are enjoying working together full-time and helping neighbors and you! Explore our different build series and find helpful information on products or after-market parts and learn from our trouble spots so you can skip to the success part of your build!
Lower has 80MH70 on it Upper I see 1020 Not sure if that helps , I just went through all the notes and we didn’t write it down. What we did on the upper.. we went to o Riley’s and tried to find a hose that was close and then cut to fit
Seems that you are missing some very important engine tin. I don’t see the front tin, which actually goes across the engine behind the fan shroud. It will keep things running much cooler. It’s pretty vital to have that. And you might want to buy a degreed crank pulley. Not just for looks but to help set the maximum timing advance.
Those rims and tires are the bombfuckingdiggitty ,but maybe a slightly smaller rim and tire, or stock shocks. I know u want air shocks but that's just one more thing to fix when a pump takes a crap or a line blows out,
Was so cool to get to meet you all and see this thing in person. I hope you all had a good time at the show. I hope to see you all here next year with your next project.
It was great to meet you and your family today too! Thanks for stopping by I really enjoyed talking to you. If you need anything in the future feel free to reach out anytime.

34 PICT Carburetor for Classic VWs The best quality replacement "Dual Port" Carburetor available Extra 60 Idle & 137.5 Idle Jets Included for fuels with ethanol additives 12 Volt Choke Works Well With: 5 1/2" Diameter x 3" Tall Gauze Air Cleaner 6 3/8" Diameter x 2 3/8" Tall Paper Element Air Cleaner 5 1/2" Diameter x 2 3/4" High - Foam Element Air Cleaner This 34 PICT-3 reproduction is designed to meet the original Volkswagen specifications exactly. It looks and functions just like the unit from the factory, and is our first choice for stock engine applications. It comes installed with a 12 volt choke and 12 volt idle solenoid (cut-off) valve. The 12v choke can be used on 6 volt systems but will take longer to warm up. You must remove the cut off solenoid and plug the part on the side of the carburetor housing if running a 6 volt electrical system. The carburetor comes with one base gasket for installing the new unit onto the intake manifold.
NGK plugs are the best choice now. An 009 doesn’t always go best with a 34 solex, so maybe a vacuum advance would be better. Also maybe a bigger main jet size would help too.
