Also, what is your objective -- do you want it to run or get it back to period correct. Reason I ask is the 1300 on your car was made for a long time after '66 and came with many different carbs. Are u looking for period exact carbs or any VW carb for a 1300?
Also, what electrical system is in your car 12V or 6V? The carb should have the right electrical choke.
1966 vintage 1300 carb is probably a 30PICT-1 (I think the 1200's used the 28PICT-1). The options are probably a used Original German carb that's been rebuilt/rebushed (check out Kiefernet on Samba) or a new Brosol H30/31. The latter has mixed reviews and is a bit more picky on the dizzy. If you can buy in the US, I recommend buying a rebuilt/rebushed OG one from Kiefernet -- they run about $150.

yup, i did read about it i need to get the combination of the distri and the carb right... my car seems to have the fiat distributer...
well i ideally want to get it back to period correct, but realise that it would take alot of time to get all the original parts... in the short term i wish to get it running trouble free and over a period get all the original period correct parts.
is there any way i could get the original engine no of a beetle from the sl no of the car... because i suspect my car might have had its original engine
replaced... and i am not sure of current engines capacity
