	Yeah, I've only been on the train in Chicago...

	You know, I never did get the hang of highway merging in 
Michigan.  Never.  Too fast, too slow, trying to let people on, 
trying to beat people... I just could never "jive" with what other 
drivers were expecting...

	Hey, I've been running a '70-'71 Type III "A-B" injected 
dizzy as mech. advance only in the Beetle with the dual kads.  Seems 
to be a lil' smoother than the 009.  I just picked up a '68-'69 Type 
III dizzy, an "L", which advances a little bit more quickly than the 
A-B.  I'm gonna try that out to see how it does.  I just time to max 
advance at like 28-30 degrees or so at the pulley.

	The kads really do want to rev higher than the 34pict3 I had 
on there.  I was shifting way too soon going from 3rd to 4th, and it 
felt sluggish.  It's been a coupla weeks since I drove it, but I 
believe that it was coming into its own if I would take it up to 
about 65 in 3rd.  (This is with the low-geared tranny that came stock 
with the 1200cc 40horse engine.)  It was happy to cruise up at 80 in 
4th... though I don't like driving a Beetle much over 80, at least 
with fairly stock suspension/rubber/brakes/etc...
