oil cooler, what is that ?
Okay, no oil cooler, as I take it would be a external looking radiator with heavy duty looking lines going to the engine block. Or is this oil cooler under the fan shroud. I will look up a 72 beetle engine break down and educate myself.
Oh, I did look and see the plate bolted over the area the fuel pump mounts, so that does help confirm the year of the block.
I do agree about running it and seeing what it is all about, I know I laid rubber with the right rear tire a few weeks back, just messing around checking the clutch and release range, wanted to see what happened if my foot slipped off the clutch pedal, now I know!
All I see is the rubber lines (that attach to the carb below the air filter) which lead behind the fan to a box that has two other rubber lines going to valve covers. And on the back side there is a hose that loops from on port to another a few inch's above it, take it to be the heater tubes ???
