Excellent tip Chris....This is overlooked a lot. My '65 has a 1' gap from a chewed up seal which i'm now going to replace, Thx.

Nice 1968, my first bug is a 68, w/ a 1800cc motor, pure white, me and my dad are restoring it to it's orig. beauty, although it was originaly bright red, lol. But, yep, that ol' engine seal is important alright, haha

Hi
You used to be able to buy Dwell meters which showed the exact points gap..
I have had a dwell meter for many years but never use it. I use a feeler gauge instead.
also replace your condensor on Your distributor.., also the distributor cap and rotor were usually replaced every 20,000miles in the old days...
Dwell meter and strobe type timing lamp are needed to time the distributor [plus feeler gauges]
.016" is the feeler gauge in imperial size...

the thermostats were removed in Australia at the first service to stop any over heating... I don't know who made this recommendation.. but the thermostats were trashed... so they are very rare now.
You can buy Mexican thermostats but they stay shut if they fail, the german ones stayed open if they failed.

hey chris, i got a question... whats the right space the contact points should have between them... like... i know its milimeters, but... how can i know, i've heard there are this things they sell for u to calibrate it, but how can i know for sure.. what can i use as a guide... i used to use them really really close to each other and my contact points used to burn in like 2 weeks...

You need to pick up a feeler gauge at any auto store. The space needs to be 16000ths
