Enjoyed following you through the first test drive and how then you thought distributor/timing, only to find the torn boot and the rabbit hole you had to go down only to come back to the distributor. I also learned that I should be using more brake cleaner as a tool to find vac leaks. Looking forward to part 2 on this one. Again, great video and I hope your channel is growing.
It's a good thing I went down the rabbit hole... Because if I just threw a distributor in did you try to remedy the situation cylinder 1 and 2 would probably end up having a hole in it due to the lean condition... Sometimes the simplest answers aren't always dissolution so I typically try to exhaust all my resources to come up with definitive answer. Even though my distributor diag seem to be initially correct there were other underlying problems as well. It also helps me in diagnosis when a customer gives me the full complaint of story on their vehicle It tends to save me time and then money.
Great content! I had the same problem with a 1955cc engine in my Karmann Ghia. Bad stumble off idle and when lugging it. All the local experts swore it was a carb issue. I been through the carbs so many times that I finally bought a Kuhltek .010 pointless distributor and replaced a fairly new pertronix SVDA distributor. Smooth as butter now. Love watching your videos, keep them coming.
Much appreciated... Drivability issues are always a pain in the butt to diagnose... But it is very rewarding when I can get them sorted out and a customer happy
You really only have one option The metal crush ring that comes in the rebuild kit... Or at least that is all I have ever used... I have never had a problem so I've never looked for a different solution
At Minute 23:30 I had that answer as to why scrolling across the screen... And yes if you didn't have or want to address a leaking oil stand at this time you can just pull the ends and reboot... But if you have to go back and do your stand you are going to be doing this entire process again

I learned how to adjust the seat back in my Ghia from this, thank you!
Sometimes it's the most random things in my videos that can be the most useful... Thank you for the view much appreciated

The second video on this shows me basically second guessing and racking my brains to get this one solved
Empi rubbers boots work for me👍 nice tear down and looking forward on the other jobs needed on this bug
As always very much appreciated 👍
You are a good mechanic . Take the time to find the problem and not just buying parts and guessing
Much appreciated but this car has had an on going problem with it's drivability... Hopefully it's going to finally be solved now
Great Video. What type of gasket do you prefer on a single port?

Could you not just remove the ends and slide the boots off without removing everything else?

I saw that and was just wondering if it could be done without removing anything else if there was no oil leak. Thank you. Great video as always.
