MadMike's 'Casper' 76 bug

[petew]

Dude, you're talking to captain tightwad here... I spent half an hour scavenging in the scrap bin at the metal suppliers today.

[madmike]

That's the way to go 'CappyTan'

[madmike]

swapped to the 2276 motor and now the clutch slips also a bit lean on Boost so now the tuning begins ,,,again

[madmike]

I was under the bug looking to mount a Kafer cup bar/ truss brace. and realized I can tie into the roll cage from the package tray mounts to the frame Horns,,,8) I have down struts from my old Off-road Mirage Buggy,,,, sweet they will work,,, I hope ,, testing this weekend

[madmike]

Success!!! no more wheel hop
had a bit of detonation on boost had to increase the mains to 200's

[madmike]

I also had 3 or 4 exhaust leaks

[madmike]

The back-up MSD 6al box took a dump

[madmike]

up and running again,, Dug up an old Mallory single points dizzy & blue coil now to send in those boxes to get fixed

[madmike]

Missed the BugRun , well I was their ,,Bugless and my msd boxes were back from being repaired too.but I didn't have a tow vehicle to tow the bug 550 miles,, so I drove the Bus and did the swap meet thing,, still a great time, sold some stuff and bought more stuff,,,

[petew]

C'mon, post the pics and show us the junk... I mean "good stuff" you brought home.

[madmike]

I don't know how
I only bought a cpl small things ,like a cable mount and a spare Centerline rear wheel
Now I need a 15 X 7" 4 lug

[madmike]

I'm thinking about selling all my MSD stuff, 6 BTM ,2 dizzys w wires and a back up 6al box all good just fixed by MSD.

Mike, you know that FI is calling your name. Take a few steps, you will not regret it.

ain't gonna happen with my knowledge & income

If you sold a bunch of carb junk, you could easily set up your EFI!

...and if you can program your MSD black box, you can run MS.
