Flight of the Phoenix

Looks like the distributor may not be stock (looks to be a Bosch 009, which has a mechanical advance. These were added as a performance upgrade), as there is no vacuum advance on it. This may also affect how the engine runs.

You're having a smashing time there ! Movie was "Flight of the Phoenix" - well worth watching for DIY nuts......

Back in the late 70's and early 80's I had three VWs. Ran both Bosch and NGK. Never a problem. My 67 bus had a fairly modified engine (high lift cam, Porsche valves, 1855 jugs, two barrel Holley - had to keep the pedal "light" to preserve the transaxle) and ran great with either brand. Maybe things have changed...along with everything else.

I have always used NGK in my Bug, no issues??

That engine was STUCK. No wanna play.

Shounds life shit

I know I'm a year late, but just found this video. Pull the 6 and slush box and you have room for a nice Coyote and T-6. YEAH BABY!

Hey i own one of those now

How to solve fuel leak on carb thnks man

FLIGHT OF THE PHoenix

Who needs a belly tank when you can-do a canoe? I wish it had a canoe nose on it as well.

When are they going n a basement? I am sad when I see old vehicles rotting away outside.

Nice!

Sorry I couldn't watch ... too much camera panning

Flight of the Phoenix

I'm guessing it's still buried?

That dude being stuck in there (with no fire protection, at that)...kinda sketch. Glad those fuel lines passed inspection. Killer car - Id love to have something like that!

宝の山！

What brand is that super high quality ratchet strap?

i just inherited the exact one in a million peices. gonna be a fun build

Did you ever get this old car running? Would love to see it

You should learn the science of a spark plug, I agree with the other fellow to get a good parts man. Has nothing to do with make. I use ngk and my engine runs perfect

Let's drain the oil while it's lifted. Or maybe not.

Mr Woosley in Chas SC owned a VW repair shop he had the oldest vw in USA it was an early 46. Documented by VW trends...

I feel like Tommy Angelo!

NGK plugs are just fine. Your off idle acceleration issue is due to the 009 distributer you're using. I'd venture to say it's not 100% set correctly as well. It could also account for lack of max rpm/speed but I'd look at possible throttle cable slack. 2. You need to get a vacuum advance distributor. 034 SVDA 3. Your fuel filter is mounted in a dangerous location. It should never be mounted after the fuel pump. It needs to be moved outside the engine bay. 4. Why is there a ceramic resistor beside the coil? If it's old school coil it needs to be mounted upright. Best solution is a newer style 3 ohm coil which eliminates the need of a ceramic resistor and it can be mounted upside down.

I literally thought it would be what most people overlook a set of points and condenser and or a coil breaking down

Going once, Going twice sold for ONE MMMMMILLION DOLLARS

i see so many bugs on UA-cam with those plastic fuel filters in the engine bay, they get hot in there & have a tendency to fail quicker spilling all the fuel on the hot exhaust = fire - they should be fixed on the hose as it leaves the gas tank underneath up front - this will also stop any crap getting into the fuel pipe in the tunnel & any slight leakage you will smell it right away as its in front of you as you drive - nice vid though 👍

There were only 2 beetles Imported into the US in 1948 ...... Hundreds in 49 and 50. If that's a 46........ someone brought it home from World War Two!! My dad was there in 55 and 56. He said he could have bought hundreds cheap!! We always had Beetles and Type 3's.

Omg! It’s one like Elvis‘

Flight of the phoenix Good luck

BS!!! 3 things maestro! 1) These engines need to warm up properly before they loose the hesitation. 2) You have it idling way too low so you'll have overheating issues when idling @ lights. 3) You didn't show the plug colours so, no one can see how well carb is tuned. Great ;)

Some people swear by NGKs but I haven’t had good results with them. Bosch is good and Harley Davidson branded Champions have worked for me.

Sorry, but you tell barely nonsens!

Great Video.. Five Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟 !!! Great and TRUTHFUL advice. Thank you. If you want correct performance always use OEM German parts BOSCH = QUALITY.

this is the stuf of my dreams!

Do you have an FI parts left

Thanks

forget the music

This is Not for guys of size. Take off steering wheel for easy in/out. Nice old roadster. Love to have one like it.

is that even the same car you put for the thumbnail on this video?

aqui no Brasil acharam um 1953 60 anos parado

that may be a 2o's miller body, but the engine and tranny are model a 1928-31 probably more available than 20's runnung gear still very neat, looks like something i would like to build.

I think this is the exact one that is sitting in my garage now.

Thats like saying in a ford, you need ford plugs, dodge you need mopar , bunch of bolony, just use a good parts man

How can you tell a typ4 engine has hydraulic lifters or not?

...Did he take those head bolts out straight from one end to the other and back?

Them six bangers was bad about hanging up starters on the flywheel.
