Anyone? My dad's at Home, bored on his leave I presume, and wants to know the tappet settings for the '66...anyone?
Cheers, N.

Hp is how fast you hit the wall, and Torque is how far you take the wall with you."

This is for all SA Beetles. Set on a cold motor.
1200 (51-65) In. 0.20mm Ex. 0.30mm
1300 (66-79) In. 0.15mm Ex. 0.15mm
1500 (67-70) In. 0.10mm Ex. 0.10mm
1600 (69-last SA) In 0.15mm Ex. 0.15mm
This was Factory Spec from Germany. As SA is a lot hotter you could comfortably get away with 0.10mm on you car.
