drove horribly power wise it is so far out of timing that it's like a mower. Once I hit 2 500 rpm it takes of as the timing advances. So today I started taking the timing belt off to do it over.

www.madirect.com can help.

I get a catalog from them for VW stuff, and they have a large supply of VDO gauges in many styles.

$29.99 for all except the speedos and tachs, which are larger and go for about $79.99.

Even though they are listed for Vdubs, they are a universal size (since early VWs didn't really have gauge clusters, so this is all aftermarket stuff).

For amp and oil temp, you should be fine. Probably won't find a water temp gauge listed for those air-cooled wonders though...

I like the VDOs...but I went for the AutoMeter gauges when I tricked out my Bug...
