Fergus,
As a former owner of a 1966 1300 Beetle (bought new in 1965), I recall that
a Roots-type blower was offered as a kit once upon a time. More common were
two-barrel carb/manifolds. I only had an intake scoop and an extractor
exhaust with dreams of turning it into a Baja bug when we could afford
another car as our family car. Bought a my '66 1600 in 1971 instead.
