The Ranger station IS topic drift...I'm with you but don't want a noisy exhaust ~ I think someone is reproducing the old 25 & 36HP Stebro Freeflow mufflers .
I already went to a SOLEX 30PICT carby from the 1963 1200 model and am using a BOSCH 019 dizzy, it was designed for the 36HP engine .
This one I saved since 1975 or so, it's painted light metallic blue as it was sold new as part of the BOSCH "Screamer Kit" ~ you appear to know these VW's well .
The modern 009 dizzie's are junk . I have a few older German ones and some 022's etc. but I prefer the 019 as it was designed for the 36HP engine in the 1959 Typ II's .
Timing is critical on 25 & 36HP's as the cranks are easy to break .
I'm looking for the 356 oil cooler, I found that oil temperature dipstick at a local VW Partshaus , I used to have the cylinder head temp sensor that attaches to a 6MM screw next to the intake manifold, my son threw it out when I gave him my old 1968 #211 one ton panel truck .
KYMCO used to sell all manner of great VW tools and accessories like this designed to make your VW run better and last longer no matter if stock or Hot Rodded .
The early cars have a different steering box that's a quicker ratio, I'm lucky it's still there, I keep it full of 90W gear oil and will replace the output shaft oil seal ere long .
I hope no one gets upset about the topic drift here.......
Have you ever worked with that brake line valve contraption? I think mine's stopped up and it's near impossible to get to, much less work onThis car has been abused by every single person that ever drove it. Now she is in such bad shape, she is not safe to drive. I'm starting the process of putting it back together.
Behold the rust.

I haven’t ever messed with it. Just moved it out of the way while working on the car. I don’t think it’s a proportioning valve, I think it’s just a splitter.Have you ever worked with that brake line valve contraption? I think mine's stopped up and it's near impossible to get to, much less work on
I just don't think my rear brakes are fully functioningI haven’t ever messed with it. Just moved it out of the way while working on the car. I don’t think it’s a proportioning valve, I think it’s just a splitter.
I’ve never had issues with the brake lines getting clogged up, what makes you think there’s an issue?
