Aircooled VW South Africa

Hello all!

This is a picture of my rather magnificent Bill-Noble-built Fleetline engine, which a lot of you may have already seen.

There's been a bit of tinkering of late . Random as it sounds, 10 points to the one who can spot what's "different" about how it appears now (Nic and Pierre, be quiet )

Gav'

Fan shroud?

Kegan, thank you but no cigar I'm afraid. Offer up an image of another 1600TP engine of similar glory...

Alternator is the internally regulated style (ie, not the 75-only 3-prong externally regulated alt)???

Inlet manifold has the vacuum port for a brake booster (ie, from a baywindow bus)???

Hmmm. Bugger. I should have known you'd know more about these engines than I. You are correct on both points but they are not what I'm hinting towards I'm afraid. You happy with five points? '

- It is something else and something not terribly technical

looks like you might have an electronic dizzy and coil

Wrong oil pressure light sensor

Thanks Tony Z. Nope. Stock ignition stuff on this one.

Hi IMPI. Is it? . Not that either

Heater pipes connected

Where is that pipe going from the oil filler cap?? Is that connected to your brake booster????

If so, that's whats different.

Are you boasting about the nice new orignal style paper and foil heater pipes?

That's the crankcase breather, connects to the inlet pipe of the air filter.
