I can't think of anything that I have seen or read about specifically made to work on a single port engine. All the carb up grades are for dual port engines.

All headers burn paint off. You need it plasma coated, stainless, or chrome plated to even have a shot at keeping the finish.
Try a run without the engine cover in place. It looks like severe overheating with the cover, but perhaps cool running without it. I notice that about half of the 4 seat T-buggies don't even have the engine cover -- it's starting to make sense.
Almost all aircooled VW cars with stock gearing run somewhere around 3000 rpm at 60 mph. It can go up or down a little by year and you can push it around with tire size, but if you are reading less than 2600 or more than 3300 I would start looking for some very non-original gearing (and most of those are expensive aftermarket parts.)

Wife and I just came back from a 2 hour ride and head temp never went over 230 , block 160 or lower so there is no heating issue.
Rpm never went over 2200 cruising at 60 mph. believe it may be the tach. while shifting it would hit 3,000 then i would shift into next gear. |

I am very surprised by that but it is good news for sure!
