I was having problems with the side draft carb leaking fuel. I tried 3 different carbs and they all leaked. So I ended up taking the setup off returning it and putting the dual Webers back on.

@@buddhabob4168 I only drove it around the block when I got the supercharger on and it kept leaking feel quite a bit. It was dripping all over the rear engine compartment so I didn’t drive very far. Then I returned the carburetor. Try another one put it on fired it up. It’s leaking return that one. Tried it again Still leaking so I don’t really have any comparison because I didn’t really get to test it. The time I did drive it, though I didn’t really notice a huge difference maybe a little quicker. Not much.

My best friend built that car for his dad in a two car garage on jack stands, in his spare time over two years. It was already painted, had someone else do the interior. It has a 6.0 ls with z06 cam and pistons, holly sniper efi, vintage air, 4l80e transmission, tubular control arms, 4 wheel disk brakes, coil overs, 4 linked and mini tubbed with 13.5 inch wide tires. It’s fun to drive!

I figured taking it off was the best move. I'm sure they are fun for short showoff drives but traveling?....forget it over heating shit flying off breaking problems for sure. Every motor I put in our bus I want a bigger one. Then I ask "do I really want to go that fast in a bus?" 72 MPH in a split is fast enough. also they make a fire extinguishing tube about 6' long that goes above the motor in the engine compartment. GET ONE. That's a very nice bus. Thanks for posting.

Update: I put the dual carburetors back on. I was having problems with the side draft crab leaking from the Venturi. I tried 3 different carburetors and all 3 leaked. The kit I bought came with a carburetor it was a aftermarket Weber. The company I ordered the kit from had great customer service. I returned the carburetor and they sent me another one to try but they just kept leaking in the same spot. After the third one I was frustrated and just decided to put the dual carburetors back on and returned the supercharger kit.

My mother had a blue and white 1965 bus that seated nine people and had windows all around. She bought it in 1967 at a VW dealer for $1,750.00. For 27 years that Bus served the family faithfully, and racked up several hundred thousand miles. It started on the first crank, and a set of cheap bias ply tires would last 80,000 miles. Fuel economy was 22 MPG on the highway. She sold it in the 1990's for $1,500.00 after all those miles the depreciation was only $250.00. When we drove around in it there was always a lot of attention, and people who wanted to buy it off of her. When she sold it it was before VW's really started to appreciate in value. I do remember people did steal parts off of it at times too. I was driving on the freeway a few weeks ago, and saw a familiar looking VW Bus that looked like our old bus going down the highway. I had to look closer to see if it had the scrstches and dents in the places where I remember where they were on the body. I saw the same dents and scrstches where I remember where they were. They were all still there, and then I realized it was our faithful old bus. It was still running after all these years. It was the best vehicle ever.
