I'm a little surprised that none of the SoCal owners have popped up on this thread to identify a VW mechanic they trust near Santa Ana.

So knowing full well that it's a 3-hour drive to get practically anywhere down there, I would suggest that you call the folks at Vintage Motorcars Inc. in Hawaiian Gardens and ask who they might recommend for a VW shop within a reasonable drive that could check out your car and set up the carbs for you. Anna will probably answer the phone (business hours) or you can ask for Greg, the owner, but Anna is really a good source for info like this.

Their contact page and phone number:

Another good info source would be one of the many Aircooled VW clubs in SoCal, so google "aircooled volkswagen club of southern california" (Click on it - It's a link) and start looking into some of them. Old VW people are the most helpful on Earth.
