    Keepin' movin'

    A better approach would be to ask what preventative maintenance you need to undertake. The first thing I would do is read every thing you can find about your carb and distributor.

    interior heating

    I have to agree with all those who say the stock system is good. The few thing you need to get right are. 1. Good VW heat exchanges not aftermarket ones, second hand pair is about 50 quid from a show, bug ones work as well as bus. 2. System sealed fully and long fore aft pipe insulated. (10...
