You hate VWs?
It's what they had at NAPA, better than nothing and bigger is better with a
vehicle that sat a while.

You call that an endorsement? They probably had a half-dozen cheap-ass
rebuilt engines they rotated in and outta that thing.

Nothing means you ain't wasting money on a loosing something.

for decades?

John was refering to just the gas filter not torching the bus.

Gas filters in the engine compartment is not a good thing on a VW.

Hey, Les. I went through the old storage shed and guess what I found? A
box of Pan and Shovel parts. Including a copy of the stainless seat pan
I made for The Butcher. I've already cut it up for something else. Smile

I did call Kennedy Engineering. They said they have no adapters for Big
Twin to VW transmissions. Wanted to run three Shovels in there. Want is
a short word meaning Ain't Ever Gonna Be Real.
