Right engine?
Just joined to help me keep my daughter's 79 camper on the road. I think the forums brilliant.
My first question is this.The van has had a replacement water cooled engine at sometime in its life.Would it have had an air cooled unit originally. The current engine is playing up and I am not sure which way to move forward.......Sam

Re: Right engine?
hi and welcome
yes if built in 1979 it would have been air cooled, will have steel rear air intake vents and big gutters and a host of early bodywork features; plus the conversion to watercooled

Re: Right engine?
The forum doesn't have server space to host pictures so you need to sign up to a service like photobucket, upload your pictures there and then link to them in your posts.
There's a write up in the wiki on how to do this:
