The air filter in a 71 Karmann Ghia is an oil bath type. Some may use the direction change like mentioned elsewhere, but the Ghia cleaner specifically forces the air through the oil in the bottom of the air cleaner, then it passes through two horsehair elements before going to the top of hte unit, then out through the pipe that connects to the carburetor. There is a reddish-orange line in the bottom of the unit to show the correct oil level. Although many change this unit out for one of those little chrome dry filter units, the stock unit flows into the carb better and has the proper preheat.
What else can I help you with?

I had a 59, this body style was manufactured from 1956 to 1959, the 1960 model had the later style headlights, tailights and fresh air vent grills in the front.

Can a new add on ac for a Karmann Ghia VW be installed in a Suzuki Samauri?
Installing a new add-on air conditioning system designed for a Karmann Ghia in a Suzuki Samurai would likely be challenging due to differences in the vehicle's design, engine layout, and electrical systems. While some components might be adaptable, significant modifications would be required to ensure proper fitment and functionality. It is generally recommended to use AC systems specifically designed for the Samurai to ensure compatibility and efficiency. Consulting with a professional mechanic or automotive specialist would be advisable before proceeding.
Are type 1 engines the same for the beetle and karmann ghia?
The Type 1 engine is the same for a Ghia and Bug with two minor differences, both related; The air cleaner is different due to the differences in body shape. The Ghia air cleaner is designed to fit off to one side with a crossover tube to connect to the carburator. On some carbs there is a slight difference in air correction jet size, to account for the differences in the air cleaners. My family owned a '62 Ghia hardtop (my dad bought the car just over a year old in '63), my first was a '59 hardtop purchased from a junk-yard car dealer in 1975, sold in 1995, my second was a '70 ghia vert, I owned it from 1980 to 1990. I am currently restoring another 70 vert doing a frame off, hope this helps aggieme81@gmail.com
Why would oil be in an airbox on a 71 karmann ghia?
This type of air filter is called an "oil-bath" filter. The design makes incoming air change direction rapidly while very near to the surface of an oil-filled pan. The contaminant dirt particles in that air, due to inertia, cannot change direction as quicky are trapped in the oil. Oil-bath filters work excellent in high dust environments, because they can trap a lot deal of dirt relative to their overall size without becoming clogged like a paper filter. They do however, emit hydrocarbons continuously and are less environmentally friendly than a paper filter.
