Yes this happen to be a 40 over bore case. We've got all the most common Crank/Bore/Thrust measurements listed out here: dunebuggywarehouse.com/blogs/news/vw-type-1-main-bearing-sizing-chart-for-vw-beetle-dune-buggy-engines

Glad this could provide some insight!

A cool design used for many years on a wide variety of vehicles!

Pertronix specs 0.10-.040 inch or 0.25-1.0 mm air gap between sensor and collar

@DuneBuggyWarehouse thanks guys.i bought one of these and it came with lose screws and the it rubbed against each other the whole time it would spit and sputter in between gears .I spent or should I say I got ripped off for 2000 dollars going through so called mechanics and I figured it out.all this low quality junk we are getting and paying top dollar for Chinese junk I'm s so done with stupid society.

Glad to hear! Exactly why we needed to upload this.

Would definitely raise the power curve up a bit!

They can typically handle 100hp with stock reliability or up to ~150hp if you're gentle with launches and shifts. Any more and I'd be calling Benco or your preferred VW Transmission specialist.

@@DuneBuggyWarehouse oh nice. I was thinking in actual fitment size but hp I should of taken into consideration

They are different heights so you'd have to change the entire frame head if it's a pan chassis, or re-weld the beam mounts if it's a tube frame.

Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the question - refer to Type 1 plugs if you have a Type 3.

Yes, the countersunk allen bolt replaces the lower stud on 091 transaxles.

From our tech expert Brian K - the 1.9 vanagons are fuel injected and use the factory distributor sensor as part of the crank trigger, so you're not able to just replace the factory distributor.

When you step on the gas the vacuum falls off initially and then builds back up. It prevents spark knock.

It's good info to know!

Yes it fits. Important to disconnect battery before install as the positive cable is near the sheet metal until you get it on the starter post.

Is it on an aircooled VW? I don't recognize that coil number. Typical coil measures 3.0-3.9 ohms across terminals for our application.

We last saw this in South Carolina. I believe it's run by Hoffman Automotive Machine in Watkinsville GA.

In my opinion - King/Link Pin for mostly off road, Ball Joint for mostly street.

Pat took this race.

Time to get started!

I'd say try the unisync style. It should fit flat across the intake side. The snail style has some give but it doesn't really conform.

Most spindle mounts are setup for king pin front ends, that is true. Check if yours has bearing adapters between the spindle and the wheel bearing - if so then save them! The bearings are easy to cross reference, that adapter can be hard to find though. Appreciate the feedback!

@@DuneBuggyWarehouse Thank you for sharing your valuable knowledge! The website is full of information and very easy to navigate when trying to locate the right part as well!

Miss your video's Darrin.

@@1fastbuggy502 Us too 👍

It's a relatively easy DIY job, just messy. Get out and wrench!

If you can feel the emblem with your fingernail it probably needs align bored. Usually a slightly loose pin is corrected with an align bore, new bearings, and new dowel pins. Oversized pins are available but are rarely needed.

@@DuneBuggyWarehouse Thank you for the reply. Please tell me. What would happen, if I just replaced the standard bearings and ran it like that?

​@@soggz4246 Depends on how far out the bore is. If you can feel it with your fingernail, it's likely worn well beyond spec. Bearings would not seat properly in the bore, resulting in very low oil pressure and a rebuild that does not last very long.

@@DuneBuggyWarehouse Thank you. All the best.👍🏾🇬🇧

The starter used will be based on the transaxle bellhousing. If you have the thicker 3-1/4 inch starter flange you'll need the 6-Rib starter version. If you have the thinner 2-3/4 inch starter flange you'll need the Type 1/002 starter version.

What do you mean axle plate?

The plate on the side that the axle comes out of.

@@jessearnett2639 You can take the side cover off and see if the shift shaft or shift fork rod is contacting the side cover. If it's a thick aftermarket side cover - there would be noticeable contact on the side cover if so. The side cover shouldn't have anything to do with 1st gear though. Check your shifter alignment (Rob and Dave's shifter adjustment is the best tutorial) and make sure you have enough external shift rod adjustment. If those are good it's time to have someone look in the trans.

A single barrel carburetor won't need synchronized. If your single carburetor has more than one barrel like a Weber IDF or Dellorto, then yes you still need to synchronize the barrels.

@@DuneBuggyWarehouse I have a 2bbl Stromberg. I was hoping to use it to tune it. Will it work for that?

​@@darrellburnside9368 For a single 2bbl stromberg this style of carb synch won't help. You may need a vacuum gauge for those.

The single side cover 73-79 Beetle transmissions were identical. Some small changes from 68-72 between Super and Standard - mainshaft splines, first gear, final ratios.

If it's in good shape - you can daily drive 150hp with a swing axle.
