Did the re-jetted carb cool down the engine?

Drove some last night, I couldn't quite tell, so today will be the test. Once traffic dies down I'm gonna hit the highways and see where I'm at.

I'll finally be able to make this show this year as it isn't conflicting with annual family outings. I plan a long, slow, leisurely drive in the Beetle along back roads in NJ and PA to and from the show.

I'm kind of torn with the weather forecast: ok, its only 30% chance of T-storms, but still... Its a 4 hr round-trip for me, and I'd have to go solo.
Still, I recall that the swaps were actually quite decent, and I am continuing the assembly of all of the bits I need for the bus.

Heard it was a kick ass show even in the rain two years ago. Never been. Hear nuttin but good reviews. I'd rather go and hide from a few sprinkles than not go and see pics of VWs in the sun!

Yes. I have handles. But if your chrome is decent, we can most likely just take your existing handles and match them to the ignition key.

Awesome show today!
Lots of cool cars, people, and deals in the swap!
The half chicken dinner was awesome as well. Definitely a show not to miss.
