Thank you Alan. Of course my wife wanted to know what I was watching. "Oh nothing dear, just different engines on a dyno. Oh, OK".

Mine just asked the same... Interesting to see the dizzy, carb and exhaust set ups on each.

That last engine sounded very different.

I noticed only the 2332cc engines did not use the standard VW mechanical fuel pump.....

These videos were all done at Chico's Performance in Arcadia Calif. It looks like they were all built by him as well. He does all my dyno work and is a stand up guy for performance motors. He still drag races and loves to line up with Pat Downs when they are both attending the same circuits.

He and his beautiful girlfriend just spent a week with me on the Sea of Cortez in Loreto BCS Mexico. Lots of fun off the job too !

Side Note.....He doesn't post "California inflated" horsepower readings from his dyno.............Bruce
