VW Beetle type 1 cc's are unknown but the air cleaners are cut down way too short and will cause a rich engine burn
As Alan says, you can use air cleaner assemblies with at least 3" height. Of course the motor is a VW Type I but being that you don't have any info. from the builder you won't be able to know what you have in there (displacement, valve sizes, camshaft grind, etc.) unless you take it apart.
Would I just change the air cleaners would this help
Definitely will; check EMPI's or Bugpack's offering and you'll be sure to get what you need. They should be from around 3" to 3.25" high top ensure the carbs work correctly yet fit in your engine compartment.
My CMC came with sawed-pipe risers under the air cleaners. It was a 1641cc, and the height of those air cleaners and the method of attachment looks to be virtually the same.
The pipes were slotted at the ends so they could be clamped with wormgear screws. The air cleaners flopped around from time to time.
In the photo, the pipes are sitting in the near-end of the little red wagon, side by side.
Don't know if that helps with so many possible internal parts combos out there.

Hey guys went to buy air filters today they dont have them at pep boys I want to get the larger ones like you guys suggested I took the filter off and there is no number on the filter the only number is in the cover it says 3021 and -14 -15 I went to the empi website but I dont see anything related to those numbers any suggestions
Your carbs look like dual throat Webers or Dellortos; your EMPI Part Nos. would be 43-6000 for the chromed version or 43-6015 for the billet aluminum version (as you have now). Both are 3-1/2" high. Hope this helps.
How do I tell if they are weber or dellorto any help would be apppreciated
Just by looking at the photo and due to the fact that your air cleaners are oval shaped (that's the giveaway for dual throats). Round air cleaners are seen on single throat carbs. Those model nos. I gave you will fit your carbs.
They are dellortos are these good carbs is it hard to get parts for them
John,
The Dells are generally considered the best of carbs (by me). If they are in good condition, consider yourself lucky to have them. They are, however, out of production. Still, you can get almost any of the repair parts (including complete rebuild kits) from CB Performance. So there is no reason to panic about out-of-production carbs.

I put the new filters on they are 3.5 inches high and I also put the outerwear red covers on for cosmetic looks will these covers cause any problems. thanks
They should work fine with your Speedster, enjoy!
GOOD LOOKING OUT THANKS
