Airhead 247 Podcast: Matias Corea - Myth Motor (part - 1)

Gage Wagoner joins us from Seattle to talk about his conversion, a 1966 /2 frame mated with a 74 R90S engine. Gage also rebuilds Koni shocks, which were a popular upgrade on the airheads back in the day. So we’ll dig into that AND his roadside repair story is one you’ll want to stay tuned for.

On the program part one of a two part conversation with Bud Provin from Nickwackett Garage in Vermont. Bud was one of the first guests on the program when we launched a few years back, so if you are wanting to learn more about Bud and his personal history, dig into the show archives. Today though, we’ll be asking Bud to go in the way-back machine and recall his days as a certified tech at both Bob’s BMW and his own shop to reminisce about design changes on 247 models from 1978-1984. Additionally and just as informative, we’ll start out the show with a discussion on ignition systems—starting with traditional points and going thru evolution of electronic systems.
