So Kas, I think you need to loosen up and tell us what you REALLY feel.
Very funny, and undoubtedly very true. I have a '67 Maserati Mistral that
originally had Lucas fuel injection on it. I'm told that it can be made to
work very well, but after a relatively short research and fiddle experience
with it I ripped it all off and put on Webers. Sacrilege I'm sure, but it
never bit me again once I had safely sold it to a "purist".

There was more than the injection difference between the TR-5 and the
TR-250. BUT...........from long experience with the standard injection on a
modified engine I offer my best advice, GET A MAP, FIND A PLACE AT LEAST 500
MILES AWAY FROM THE INJECTION SYSTEM, GO THERE, then you can relax and enjoy
yourself. Alternate to this is finding an old oil well or water well for
that matter, make certain it is very deep and no way out for anything that
might drop in.....now package the system very carefully and drop in the
middle of said well. YOU'LL BE GLAD. Your life in motor racing will be
infinitely easier. If you are still insistent on getting into this bag of
snakes, address me off the list and I'll go into the problems and additional
costs you'll face.
