Intake Manifold Part Number

[Will Adams]

I am trying to find the correct part number intake manifold for our '66 beetle. I think the correct number is 113.129.701J. Could someone please verify this part number for me? Thanks

[DC-Dubs]

I assume you are talking about the 1300cc single port manifold on the 66?
It would be 113129701 K for the 66' US imported 1300. I don't think "J" exists that I know of.
The 113 means specifically for the type 1

The 1 in 129 means its part of the engine sub group and 29 means the part sub group.

The 701 is the actual part identification.

The k was the designation for engine codes beginning in:

F0 1300cc 66
H0 1500cc 67
F1 40hp 67
HS 1500cc 68/69
E0 M240 low compression 37hp 67
LO M240 low compression 40hp 67
B6 1600cc single port 70

I hope this helps!

-J is the VW Mexico part number. The one DC listed will work fine assuming a stock 1300 with a 28pci carb.

What engine and carb do you have? If they're aftermarket / later, the intake manifold you're looking for may be different.

Our car is all original; Correct egine, trans, etc. My original intake manifold had a hole in the heat riser and quite a bit of pitting. I threw it away without first looking at the part number. We are currently in the middle of a year long pan off restoration, and I want to use the correct part rather than just a part that will work. Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it.

Way cool on the all original resto!! I hope things go well for you. I drive an all original 66 still 6v and original paint glass and interior. I also am doing a resto on another 66 but it is a custom/resto. Going with full airbag suspension and close to 200hp is in the works. Best of luck to you! I Look forward to seeing pictures and progress....

I have a very early '66 and I bought a 113 129 701K intake manifold
to replace the one on the engine.
After removing the manifold I realized that it was a 113 129 701J.
The engine has low milage and I am almost certain that the manifold
removed was the original.

Hi.

On this part number topic, DC-Dubs mentioned something of interest to me,

"....The 113 means specifically for the type 1

The 1 in 129 means its part of the engine sub group and 29 means the part sub group.

The 701 is the actual part identification.

The k was the designation for engine codes beginning in:.... "

(don't know yet how to use the quote function)

Was out shoping for suspenssions till the question on types came up and I was so confused. Can I use the part number information of my manifold to assume the rest of the car parts fall in the same type (say if I am dealing with a stock vehicle?)

[h~moto]

No. The reason why is that the beginning of the part number indicates what model the part was originally designed for. There are Volkswagen parts that are used on more than one model vehicle. A VW part that had more than one part number would be a nightmare from an inventory standpoint. You will find many parts for your vehicle that begin with 111 (111 is the model number for a left hand drive standard Beetle). If the part was something not found on a standard Beetle, it would likely start with 113 (113 is the model number for a left hand drive deluxe Beetle). In fact if you look at the bottom of your oil breather tube, the rubber cap that is (or should be) there is part # 311 115 541. That would be originally for a type 3.

Thanks H-moto.

Thanks for the information. What about things like shock absorbers.... do they have part numbers? or how do I respond to the question "what type?" in such an instance. I was thinking I will just yank the thing out and go with it to the car dealer (but donn't have to if I actually knew what I wanted)

Cheers.

The Beetle is known by VW as a type I.



The bus was a type II.



They also made a type III.



and Type IV.



Other cars were based off of the Beetle (type I), like the Ghia



and Thing.



As far as buying parts, search for Beetle parts that will fit a 1966. Your supplier will know about the correct part number or what can be substituted. Many parts like shock absorbers are not Beetle specific, so they will not carry the type I nomenclature.

Thanks Hercdrive. I appreciate the clarification.

Cheers.

Any singleport manifold will work from 1966 to 1970. It's the type where the manifold meets the head at an angle. (If it's flat to the head, that's the older 1200.)

If you find a manifold that has vacuum tubes welded to it, just cap them off. Those are for emissions controls or the automatic stickshift. (If it's a serious resto, cut and weld them shut.)

The most important thing is to find a manifold that doesn't have the heat riser clogged with carbon. Make sure it's clear!

-J is specific to 1300, K was correct for 1500 engines. I have lots of intakes
