Post by: Frenchy Dehoux on December 09, 2013, 19:12:18 pm

   I was doing some work on a motor and this is what I have found. In all the years I have worked on VW this is the first one I have seen. Once someone has figured it our I will post another picture.

Does it look like there is a part number on the back side?

  There is a part # on the back side you are correct. This car has 63,000 original miles and never had the engine out of the car for a clutch or anything else. This is a 1973 bought new with the same owner. The last time it was driven was 2001. The key ring has the VIN# of the car.

Wow, never saw one of those myself, either.

I noticed Matt Homer has been snooping around here lately again....thinking of getting another VW, Matt?

Hey Mike ha yeah it gets in your blood. I have been helping a newbie get his Single Cab going...always amazing at some of the crazy stuff some of these experts come up with...thing had 45 Dellortos,, was told he needed 40 empis  those were to big for a street motor, tied to sell him a 76mm crank? Really! ... I got him building a nice 2110 with a 120, keeping the 45's, Cb 044s with the mild port, 8:1, full flow, 1.5 sump, basically a nice motor to move the truck and live.
