For how you are saying you use the VW and having carbs I would definitely use something. I have been pleased with this http://www.starbrite.com/item/star-t...oline-additive

Napa ones seem to last best in our tractors and trucks. I bought some interstate batteries for a truck and one of the 4 shit out in a month.

I don’t know who makes them but they seem to hold up.

Never had much luck with Interstate. Current AC/Delco I have has lasted 6 years in my Blazer and Napa Legend 8 years in my Cutlass. If you've been using lead acid/flooded batteries you might try an AGM/absorbed glass mat battery. I've heard and read online they last longer in extreme heat but they cost like twice as much as a lead acid.

**** me gents. Changed my sister in laws brakes on my dad’s lift. Blinker was out when I picked the car up. Grabbed a pack of lamps. My dad reaches through the fender twists out the socket (it’s not on a harness the socket has power go through it I guess from the housing). My dad says the second lamp falls out. ****. Take the inner fender off look for 20 minutes. Take the bumper cover and belly pan off can’t ****ing find it anywhere. We’re both short fused for stuff like this, getting real pissy in the 98* Oklahoma heat. He sticks his finger in the hole for the missing ones can see his fingers it didn’t go into the housing or anything. Finally after a long look he realized there’s only one bulb. The mirror in the light creates an optical illusion that there’s a smaller egg shaped driving light behind it lol. We both felt stupid but laughed it off with a beer. It took me 3x longer to change this blinker than the front pads and rotors ::

I'd take all day to change the oil in a car if it meant I could spend time with my dad again. Don't sweat the simple stuff, enjoy your time together.

I have dual 34mm weber carbs that are about 20 years old on the 1800cc 4 cylinder engine. NO ISSUES with the carbs at all, but while I'm tuning her up for the trip I thought I might blast some carb cleaner in there to get rid of anything that might have accumulated.

Thoughts?
Carbs and "no issues" huh. I wish I was so lucky. If you're itching to do something run a can of berryman b12 in the next fuel tank.
