For those needing an electric fuel pump for carburators, I recommend Master p/n E8012S. Far better than the typical Facet-style (square block) POS that most VW places will try to sell you for this purpose. Quiet, reliable, inexpensive and available. The pressure is a bit higher than some would like, but I've never used a regulator and have never had a problem either.

Can we include AMC heads?
I have an ongoing test with my stock AMC heads....
So far:
About 6K miles
Have hit 450* on the DD many times (400* for prolonged periods)
No 'cokeing' of the oil...yet
valve adjustments/checks have stayed consistent...ie no variance...yet

Dansk type1 exhaust - thicker gage steel than German. Fit to be determined.
Aircooled.net rebuilt connecting rods, balanced overall and each end. Nice pin fit.
Mahle pistons and cylinders (Brazil). Quality excellent, weight better than factory specs.

Unfortunately Dansk is the best stock style replacement for any Air-Cooled VW engine. The only other I would trust is one of Jake's souped up exhausts $$$$$.

Hiya All,
Just went down to Discount Import Parts (a VW-FLAPS located in the Portland area) to buy one of those cheapie Mickey Mouse oil strainers for my engine rebuild. Actually, I'd much prefer a quality built item with reasonably fine mesh, but whattyagonna do these days?
Imagine my suprise when I get a real quality part! Oh, it's got the fine mesh screen allright, but even better it has the spring load. And the thing is built like a rock. Nothing tinny or flexy about this strainer at all.
Part number is 311 115 175A (PK111 115 175B)
