Aircooled VW South Africa

Hi guys

I got a lonely type 4 looking for a hot blonde - interested in walks down long roads and spending evenings watching tv...


Just jokes. I'm looking for the closest year that this engine was produced in - CA 026 841, its a 1700 with the twin carbs.
We just want to check that the engine year lines up with the body...

Anyone have years and the corresponding engine numbers?

Thanks

I haven't seen the grid style date > engine number sheets for Type 4 engines yet but I found this:
CA 49 Kw 66 Hp 1679 cc 2 08/'71>07/'73

LoL you to quick found same think on wiki
ID code- CA, CB
1.7 litre, 49 kilowatts (67 PS; 66 hp) — 1971-1973 Volkswagen Type 2

so that must be it then

sorry only saw now looking for type 4 ignore me

You're right too. The type 4 engine was used in the type 2 body.

Thanks Guys, ya, its a type 4 in a type 2. Was mainly looking to narrow it down a bit to a specific year. I'll do another search later in my free time. Effort is much appreciated though will tell you if i find anything. i know EMPIUS.com only shows up to type 3's

PS I had the same info in our resource library: http://issuu.com/acvwsa/docs/vwbook2 page 40
I didn't think it would be in there but see its not so bad after all

Thanks Eben

Assuming "Generator" refers to a dynamo, I must confess to never having heard of a VW Type 4 style engine, on either a VW 411 & 412 or VW Type 2, being equipped with a dynamo, rather than an alternator!
