Type34 Ghia, Intake manifold Heater Pipe Valve

[olen]

I have a 1963 Type 34 Karmann Ghia, with a partial Intake heater pipe Valve. does anyone know where I may purchase one, PLUS I'd like to also purchase the Exhaust pipe section with the "Pipe Heater Valve" Connection being a part of it.
Any help will be appreciated. I can receive emails at [email protected]
Thanks,
Olen Sturgeon

Hello, I also have a '63 type 34 but i don't the have nor do I thing I will ever run a single sidedraft carburator. But what I do have, is an NOS muffler with the heat tube riser that i will trade for NOS type 3 or 34 parts.

This sounds very close to a pure wanted ad, please post wanted ads in the classifieds as we don't allow ads in the Forums.

But... asking if anyone knows of a source is ok.

Your question is confusing to me though.
Do you need this piece? I call this the pre-heat valve.
In the parts book it's called: Valve - Pre-heating pipe

This is on the right side and not part of the exhaust.
The exhaust connection for the pre-heat system is on the left side and connected to the intake manifold and muffler.

If your pre-heat pipe is broken off your muffler, you may be able to have it repaired / welded but you may also need a complete new muffler.

Hi Everett,

while on the topic of preheat valves are they really necessary ?????
is the scale and adjuster set for certain temps ?????
are they available to buy as a replacement part or are they the mythical hens teeth or rocking horse poo.
i know my single carb panelvan would of had one but now it just has a striaght through pipe there.

cheers Peter

Thanks for the replies,
What I need are the two connecting ends of the manifold heat pipe, The "Heat Valve" on the right side of the engine as well as the left side connector, which attaches the left end of the Intake heater pipe end to the muffler. Up to now, and from the time I purchased the Type 34 Ghia 38 years ago, the left end of the "Heater Pipe" was missing. I have acquired a complete intake manifold which includes the "WHOLE" Heater Pipe.
Thanks,
Olen Sturgeon

Good question... My '63 had a straight-through pipe there when I bought it and it seemed to drive fine.

I added the valve above when I did some work but I don't know if it made any difference.

Since it closes after a certain temperature I would guess that it might be more useful in a hot environment so the intake air does not get too hot?
Sort of like how the carburetor intake pipe has a valve that you shut in summer.

You have to just find them for sale, they are not generally available.

I searched on muffler in the Type 3 parts section on this site and found a couple ads:
Complete:

Looks used to me plus the pre-heat pipe is broken or cut off:
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1417425

I could not find any pre-heat valves for sale at this time.
The part # is 311129781B according to my parts book, if that helps.

The one on my 63 was seized solid by rust so i removed the flap from inside it and installed the housing to take up the space from the heater box to manifold.
The car runs fine in all weathers so obvs you dont really require it to be operational.
