1967 was the first year for the 12 volt system in the VW's.
12 volt type4
well with my old 6volt bug when i had the headlights on and i accelerated the headlights would get brighter. or when i had the windshield wipers going and i accelerated they would go faster. i don't know if that is true for a VW bus.also if you have it you can use a voltage meter and test it.also try your VIN number if its still on there. you can use to tell you the year, engine size and the voltage for that year and make.hope that helps.There's an even easier wayLift the back seat (Bug) or open the engine compartment (Bus) and look at the battery. If it's got three caps, it's a 6-volt battery. Six caps is a 12-volt battery.
Should be a 12 volt battery.
1967 first year for 12 volt
It is considered a 12 volt battery.
You need an international battery.
Yes. It's on the positive side of the coil.
No. The ignition needs 12v to run, the starter needs 12v to crank, the bulbs all need 12v to get bright enough...
The 1964 VW Beetle came from the factory with a 6 volt electrical system. Unless it has been upgraded to a 12 volt system you would need a 6 volt battery. I would recommend you check the voltage of the current battery with a volt meter. If there is no battery in the vehicle, just remove a light bulb and check the voltage written on the bulb.
1966
Probably not. The larger engine and 12 volt system needed more room. Beginning about 1967 the rear deck lid had a camels hump.
