[T3] Back from Litchfield

[Keith Park]

Drove the Crate to the Litchfield VW show today, 4 hours of no gauges, no
cruise control, nothing but an AM radio (you wouldn't believe what is on AM
radio these days!)  and despite the shock I really enjoyed the car.  I don't
think this car has ever gone this far and it's the first trip with me.  No
problems, with the idle jets drilled out just a bit its running smoother but
still has a bit of hesitation.  I thought Id see what the gas mileage was to
make sure I don't get it running too rich.

I got 34mpg in a mixed  highway/secondary rd trip. I THINK I have a little
room to spare in richening it up a bit!  Now to find a source for the jets,
the idle jets were 946 If I recall but I don't know what the mains are,
anybody know what the mains would be on an early 65 without the electro idle
jets?  Todays gas must be real crap for a stock setup to run this lean.

No other problems, its stopping straight as an arrow now, even found an NOS
set of trim rings for it at the swap.
