The camshaft is right inside the middle of the engine. It is a big job and I think you will need more answers than you will find here to replace it. You better buy the book "How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive" Replacing the camshaft requires a complete engine teardown; there is no engine that I know of that's harder to get a cam out of than an aircooled VW. This is one of the biggest disadvantages of the VW engine design. Hot rodders LOVE hot cams because you can get a lot of power pretty easily that way. The difference between hot rodders and us is that if a hot rodder picks the wrong cam, it isn't going to take him a whole day to swap it out--and on Detroit iron, you can usually change the cam without even pulling the engine. You and I, if we blow our cam selection our wives will wonder if they're EVER going to get the table back. (Your wife won't let you rebuild VW engines in the dining room? Bummer.) I recommend mild cams on VWs, and getting your horsepower somewhere else--like in the heads.

What needs to be placed in the sentence your fathers 1969 Volkswagen beetle?
Something to explain why you mentioned it. "Your father's 1969 VW Beetle" is a sentence fragment. If we were writing a story with dialog, and one character asked something like "which car are we taking to the fair?" another could come back with "your father's 1969 VW Beetle." but you'd write it like this: "Which car are the police looking for?" asked Mary. "Your father's 1969 Volkswagen Beetle," said John. If you're not doing dialog, something like... "Your father's 1969 Volkswagen Beetle was stolen last night and is now in the police impound lot." would be good.
