I believe the early '73s had Generators and the late '73s had Alternators. It depends on what the previous owners put on? (It may have been the '74s tho.) A lot of people put alternators on for a few more amps.

The generators are barrel looking, kinda like a coffee can and the Alternators have a lip or flange all the way around on the rear near the pulley.

Will a hood off a 73 bug fit 65 bug Both are standard bugs.?

No, the hood will not fit. 1965 is pre-Super Beetle; 1973 is post Super Beetle. The 65 hood is going to be much more narrow and arched then a Super Beetle hood or anything past their early transitions to the Super beetle which started to transpire in June of 1971


What is the Difference between 73 beetle and 73 super beetle?

The Super Beetles started in '71 or '72 and and the main differences are they are a little bit longer and they went to a Strut front suspension. They also went to a curved windshield in '74 or '75. I'm not sure when the standards did. But in "general", everything behind the windshield is the same as a standard, so I'm told. But every year VW made slight changes to them both so some things will fit others and some things won't. The curved windshield on a super beetle started in '73 and had a larger plastic dashboard. Another way you can tell a beetle from a super beetle is the standard beetle's spare tire sits uprite in the front of trunk while the super lays flat on bottom of trunk.
