Hey all,
This is my first post here. I recently picked up a 1971 Super Beetle. Looks like my alternator is dead. I’m reading that I should upgrade to a modern 55-amp internally regulated alternator.

I don’t know if I already have that upgrade…
Can you tell anything from the pictures?
Very low miles on this engine.

Any input is appreciated. Thanks

I have a dune buggy and I’m trying to figure out how to set up the dummy light or if it’s even hooked up properly. It never goes on at all even when first start. The oil pressure switch light goes on obviously when the pressure is building and when I put a test light to it the dummy light goes on. When I put the test light to the alternator light the test light itself goes on and not the light. Any help appreciated

I had the car towed to my house so I could work on it. So far I've redone the cloth brake and fuel lines, cleaned the gas tank, connected all the hoses, wires, and lines, and put a new filler neck in for the tank. Next, I want to change the oil and transmission fluid, new spark plugs, plug wires, and ignition coil. All the tires and window seals are also dry rotted. The dash is coming off, all the interior knobs have their labels rubbed off, the center caps for the wheels are missing, and the driver's side mirror is broken. After that, assuming everything works, it's off for me to customize it. I want to swap out the radio for one with a tape player, give it a roof rack, some new wheels, a passenger side mirror, and some small power upgrades. Going to be a while, I am kinda broke. Wish me luck!

So currently I’m looking to replace my door handles that are the push button type. For context I have a 1974 Brazil Beetle. I’m just wondering if these trigger types will fit/work as a replacement for the current push button type? I noticed the single screw vs double screw of the push type but still looking to know if it will fit despite that.
