Things to change list: Lose the glass packs. I want the chambered sound Remove the truck 4 speed. Switch to car style...- 410 John

What have you done to your square lately??
Yeah, the one installed in the pic is removed. The marks on the sides of the caps are because my Father had knock offs screwed to the caps. I can deal with the scratches, for now. Time to drive and enjoy the truck! -

Left hand dipstick
My 83 C10 came with a 305 and my current 350 must be an earlier model with a left hand dipstick. The dipstick is a chrome replacement and very hard to reach and get back in. The master cylinder is dead in the way. Anyone else dealing with this?- 410 John

Took my Beetle to the track
Spare crank in your locker! Lol Here’s a quick video. Basically a stock 1600 with a small cam. I did add dual springs and good pushrods. And it’s a Ko4 turbo, like you find on a new Beetle, blowing into a 40 dellororto. 11 pounds of boost.- 410 John

Took my Beetle to the track
I entered an 1/8 mile class, but got one 1/4 mile pass. 15.46 at 86 and a 9.67 in the 1/8th. Best 60’ 2.09. It’s spins a lot. Lost first round. Had fun and nothing broke. The new trailer all worked out great.- 410 John

Rough and shaking 350 after changing spark plugs
The NGK’s should work in a GM product. I use them in my Bug. As mentioned above, check them wires over.- 410 John

What brand spark plugs? Use AC when possible and never Champion.- 410 John

Enclosed trailer, sort of a vehicle
It’s a 1600 with a small CB cam and a single 40 dellorto. The turbo is a Ko4. It’s running pretty good. Low speed, I have so transition dead spots. Trying to work them out.- 410 John
