[T3] Valve covers and J tubes - 2 questions


Q1: I was at Pomona yesterday and, for $5 each, 
picked up a couple of used 'finned' valve covers for
the 1969 Fastback.  They're not the bright chrome ones
(they look similar to 'brushed aluminum').  My
thinking? -with with additional finned surface area
the heat transfer should be improved. My thoughts 24
hours later... if it was an easy heat xfer improvement
why wouldn't the VW engineers have adopted it?

Q2: Second question - are there differences in Type 1
and Type 3 "J tubes" or are they interchangable?  (the
more efficient heat xfer rate maybe come back to haunt
me).

Thanks,
Edward
