Were Bow Wow around in the 70's?

 They had shops in both Canada & Seattle and sold all the usual performance extras from Scat, Bugpack etc.

   The Logo was a nice looking Dog (what else..) Grin

As far as I know, Lang also made the Race Trim manifold, pulleys, Empi and Race Trim sumps and probably other parts. They produced their own parts and supplyed the other brands.
Check a Lang sump and an Empi sump, they have the same casting.

Bow Wow Auto Parts is still in business, but not in aircooled VW anymore.

I've got 2 addresses listed for Bow Wow?

 Beacon Ave, Seattle & 11956- 95A Ave, Deta BC, V4c 3W2.. which I presumed was in Canada as the advert (1980) lists the Seattle address and then the other as Canada?  Huh

 Anyone know for sure? Grin
