Either Low oil pressure or bad Alt depending on which side it's on.
Will overfilling engine oil have any effect on the catalytic converter?
Your biggest problem with overfilling the engine is not damage to the converter but damage to the engine itself. Overfilling causes the crankshaft to make contact with the oil. This will cause a situation where air will be mixed with the oil. This air mixed with the oil causes the oil to lose it's lubricating properties as air is a poor lubricant. This will cause the engine to overheat and will result in severe wear to all moving parts within the engine. If you overfill the engine drain the excess oil out immediately.

What is the red G warning light on a 1971 beetle?
It is for the Generator (or Alternator). If it comes on while you're driving, it usually means the fan belt broke. If you do not pull over to the side of the road right now and put the new belt you carry - you should ALWAYS carry a spare fan belt!!! - on the car, your engine will melt because the cooling fan is bolted to the end of the alternator shaft.

How does accelerator cable connect to gas pedal on 1974 vw super bettle?
There's a Z-hook on the end of the cable that goes to the front of the car, and a plastic arm with a roller on it that the gas pedal pushes on. (If there isn't a metal hook on the end of the cable, you need a new cable.) You just work the hook through a hole in the side of the arm, and you're done. You will probably need to unhook the cable from the carburetor to get it to hook up at the front of the car, though.
Where do you look for the VIN number on pre-1978 VW beetles?

How do you remove the door stops in a 1973 Volkswagen Super Beetle?
are you talking about the little arm that comes out of the door and attaches to the door frame? because that's really simple. there should be a little pin that connects the that arm to the frame of the door, you pull that out and it should come right off.
No the high beam filament is independent from the low beam filament You can run them seperately or together . it depends on how the lights are set up. For instance if you have your high beam on you may have your lows running at the same time, however if your low beam is on low beam setting, your highs are always turned of It sounds like you may need to look at your fuses or your switch.

-------- Hello, this is Lee adding a bit more to the answer.
Burned out bulbs suggest "high vehicle voltage levels".. High voltage levels are caused by a battery developing high internal resistance or a high resistance in the battery ground cable.
Automobiles typically use an alternator that charges the battery at a constant current. If the battery or the wire connecting the battery's negative terminal to the engine block develops a high resistance, then the voltage of the entire vehicle climbs a half a volt or maybe even a whole volt above normal. It turns out high intensity headlight bulbs quickly start blowing out when they are fed a little too much voltage.
So here is a checklist.
- Check the voltage drop for the battery to engine block ground connection. Check the battery connections. Remake as indicated.
- Does the battery need water? Not a very common problem these days, but small battery vehicles like motorcycles will develop a cell with low water.
- Is the vehicle battery at it's age limit? Aging car batteries sometimes develop higher internal resistance.
Will a 1965 bug bumper fit a 1974 super beetle?
