Ahhh ok. After driving like 100 miles daily my next DD is going to be an automatic. At least my bug will still be stick =-)

Yep, I do 120 a day, I like my automatic in traffic, but always keep manuals around for fun.

The key to having fun with automatics is to attach them to V8s :)

Na! twice the fun!  BO**

if working with carbs is fun, I have the wrong hobby...

What a bummer Marc!!
   
Are you coming to the show Marc? If so, if you want, I can bring and  loan you a carb to mess around with while you wait for your new one.....if you cant get that car running with my carb, then..... ???????.

Regardless, good luck with the new carb

Thanks, but I will not be able to make the show on saturday, inventory at work...  I do not want to touch a carb until  I get the new one...  and if that dosent work, I think well be seeing a baja up on the samba...

Well my new replacment carb is here!!!  ;D I will not be able to put it on today, but I hope to be able to do it tomorrow... This getting dark early puts a real damper on working on my car...  I am sort of afraid to put on the new carb, because if the car still won't idle  Ithink  Iwill lose my mind  c23

Good luck!

Hey just curious what type carb are you replacing?  Do you have the 009 or vacum advance dist?  I'm waiting for mine to arive I got a grandspankin new pict-34 type 3 cause mine leaks from the only seal you dont get in a rebuild kit.  I have a dead spot starting from a stop so I got a nice new vacum adv dist to go with it.  (I like to order new parts in pairs so the dont feel left out by the other parts )

I picked up a 31, from what I was told it is a better carb, I also picked up a Single Vacuum Advance Dizzy.

 

(I like to order new parts in pairs so the dont feel left out by the other parts )

Funny, I promised mine if it got me home from Virginia alive (long story)  I would only put new parts into it...

Anyway, My back is finally starting to feel close to my normal level of crippling pain, so that means I'll be able to work on the car very soon.  Half a dozen Advil and a beer, I can do anything... stoned# c23 :icon_geek:

[kiko]

ok cool hope it works out for you!  And it would be nice for this rain to chill out
