1966
The 1961 VW Beetle was 6 volt. North American Beetles did not have 12 volt systems until 1967.
Stock battery is a 6-volt unit. check VW specialty shops for replacement.
No. The ignition needs 12v to run, the starter needs 12v to crank, the bulbs all need 12v to get bright enough...
1967 was the first year for the 12 volt system in the VW's.
The 1964 VW Beetle came from the factory with a 6 volt electrical system. Unless it has been upgraded to a 12 volt system you would need a 6 volt battery. I would recommend you check the voltage of the current battery with a volt meter. If there is no battery in the vehicle, just remove a light bulb and check the voltage written on the bulb.
12 volt- 6 volt beetles were only made until '67, i believe.
Passenger side, in front of the back wheel, about 6 inches in.
I think you should check your terms. Voltage has nothing to do with the flywheel at all. I can only assume you are talking about 6 Bolt or 12 Bolt flywheel. The difference between that is clear. It is the number of bolts used to fasten the flywheel.I think before answering one should understand the VW.This question is relevant to the old beetle not the new beetle.They were used on bugs up to 1966.The 6 volt flywheel is from a 6 volt car , It is smaller in diameter and has a different tooth count than the larger 12 volt flywheel.It will only mesh with the 6 volt starter.If you are converting a bug to 12 volt and changing the starter and flywheel you'll have to grind out the bell housing on the 6 volt transmission.A lot of people leave the starter 6 volt when converting to 12.All the old bugs have the same number of flywheel bolts.One large gland nut, that's all
The curb weigh for a 1958 Volkswagen Beetle is 1,700 pounds. The car is 13 feet 4 inches long and 5 feet 6 inches wide.
6 1/2 front and rear, but 5 1/4 works and is typically a bit cheaper
If you do not see a screw on type filter then your Beetle has the filter or screen under the drain plate. Remove the 6-8 small bolts holding the plate in place and you will see the filter.
