Great Video! helped me a lot!

[@OldVolksTV]

Thanks for watching!

[@juniorclassicvwbugs924]

Mine it’s a 71 it has a 009 and star static time is spot right on but it is still not starting. What else would you check

[@robbyd.4037]

Excellent tech info video ! My only suggestion would be maybe an external microphone ?!? ....Keep up the great work :)

[@OldVolksTV]

Thanks!

[@jerryrobison3786]

And kill the music. It would be easier to hear you.

[@evilbeetlekustomscreations4965]

I used to be in this club

[@OldVolksTV]

Oh yeah? What chapter? That's pretty cool.

[@hondahut]

Please do a video on shocks...gas shocks vs non gas shocks...KYB white vs KYB silver GR2...I have the KYB whites and they are way too stiff on my bus...also can you do a video on bus tires...what tires are available today?...also bus front beam rebuild...thanks!

[@OldVolksTV]

All great topics! And you're in luck, were working on a bus beam right now!

[@tjrm63]

Koni shocks are the best. They have 4 settings by compressing them together you then can twist the bottom of the shock all the way to the left is softest and rotating right you will have 4 half turns to pick your stiffness, I ride the softest and its awesome on my bus. I just replaced my front torsion leaves cause mine were sagging. Bought used German leaves from Busted Bus in Colorado, raised my front end 1 inch and no more bouncing. It's a lot of work but well worth it, make sure you have a buddy to help you

Where did you get the graded pulley from ? Enjoyed the video . I’m still not sure which electronic kit to use for my VW 1977 Camper Distributor .any idea as the guy said it’s a 090 Bosch , couldn’t find a way to verify the part number as I’m paranoid to remove the piece since I’m non tech savvy. All the way from SriLanka

[@OldVolksTV]

The pulley came from CB Performance. Is the distributer an 090 or an 009? For the latter I'd recommend a pertronix kit. In fact, they sell a pre-built distributer so all you'd have to do would be to drop it in and time it. Thanks for watching!

[@TheKmdelm]

Would you know which one specifically? And I’m guessing it would fit both 090 and 009

[@saturnworld1840]

If you were to get a new distributor, will the Timing already be set? Or do I have to do it

[@OldVolksTV]

You would have to set the timing.

[@juniorclassicvwbugs924]

What yr is your bus

[@VWLifeVW]

all this info made me dizzy :)

[@OldVolksTV]

Haha. All the exhaust fumes made ME dizzy.🤣
