Goodbye Jetta! 120-130

>I think the coupe will get the o/d and B20B.

So ya bought the coupe? Cool.

>The O/D turned out to be a small flange "d" type (installed in a 75 145 no less "duh!!!".) Would not have guessed that combo to be produced! All the right parts otherwise seemed to be in the right places, Odd, but no complaint to me.... for 150 bux including the B20F motor.

That's okay, the D-type I put in Momma's 145 hauls it around just fine.

>The fresh B18 will come out to go the machinist, then will go in the wagon as I Megasquirt the F for the coupe... Figure that should be the (semi) hot rod, right! The B20B will eventually end up In the wagon. Musical Motors?

"Yes sir, folks, come on down to Musical Motors... no down payments... no financing... no problem at all, ask for Cal!, but watch out for Spot!"

Heh.


>Ever run across any fender mounted rear view mirrors?

Those kind that could only be in the way when you work on your car? No.
I don't think I'd want my mirrors there. I've not thought much about it, maybe I'm just jealous of fender mounted mirror cars.

>Ever use a cable clutch assembly instead of hydraulic? Thoughts? My Jettas and Golfs have used up cable about every 3 years. The bastages crushed the poor 145 before I could gut it more.

The '69 and later Amazons have a slightly (very?) different cowling there where the MC's go. The pedal is WAY different. 3 years? Not too shabby. Hydraulic clutch parts last about 5. Maybe more if we flush 'em regularly.

>I did get the AC compressor brackets and pulleys though, just in case I get soft in my old age

Heh.

>Shayne. Since you have a 64 too, what is the length of your front prop shaft from the flange to the carrier bearing?

I'd be more comfortable giving you a measurement from a certain-point to a certain-point. Give me a call and perhaps I can fax a crude drawing to you.
