John,
I'm really interested in seeing your injection setup. It sounds like an
improvement over the carburetor. Maybe a bit too sophisticated for me,
though.
I have not tried the yarn, but it should work. I understand that mylar
tape, (audio cassette) works well also. The streamliners use to apply
some kind of ink dots that spread with the air flow over the car.
