I might be in. Depending on how vehicle upgrades go I might bring the truck or need to ride shotgun.

Thanks Bruce. I saw that thread on the Samba. I have been doing a lot of reading. :D You could also refurbish the unit you have and run it. Join the Eberspacher group on bookface and download the manuals from Samba and have at it. The only hard part to find is a fuel pump diaphram but I think there...

Does the guy holding the beer even have a camper anymore? Or does the engine still need to be installed?

I would like to try wiring in a relay in the engine compartment. I found this on the Samba. https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=334340&highlight=double+relay My engine is carbureted and has an aftermarket fuel pump mounted on the inside of the frame rail near the starter.

Cut the connector off, it was bent and felt weak, stripped the wire back and had my son crank again and still nothing. Jumped with a screw...

There's a bleeder screw at the bottom of the caliper in the pic, make sure there's another at the top. Either you have a caliper with two bleeders or ...

If it's a bust we can load up my Caravan and drive around to all the old factory sites. My wife and I did that once with a guy we met at the local cars and coffee that was in town from Chicago. We showed him all kinds of places while he talked about architecture, he and his father were architects. T...

I think if you stay north of 14 Mile you should not be hasseled. County Sherrif and State PD might be an issue the whole length of the strip h ticket book in hand for the rice and muscle guys.

I will probably be at the Mi VW group at the northern end and come in off a side road.
