.028. If you buy Bosch Super plugs, they're set to that at the factory. Check them before you put them in just in case they get thrown out in shipping, but I haven't received one yet that wasn't right.

What is the recommended tire pressure for a 1973 Super Beetle?

There may be a recommended tire pressure from the factory in 1973. However, I don't think you have the original tires from 1973, so this is what you look for- 1) Look at the side wall of your tire 2) Find the tire size information (example 195/70/13) 3) Below or after that their will be a psi setting (max cold psi 32) 4) Most tires are set between 28-32 psi cold. A 1973 Volkswagen beetle weighs under 2000 lbs so the recommended tire pressure is only around 20 psi in the front and 25 psi in the rear. It's actually a little less.
