Patrick;

These fuel injection kits look promising.  Did you by any chance get prices
on models 2700 and 2710 for SU and ZS replacement?

In the last issue of Grassroots Motorsports there was a advertisement for a
TWM induction company in Goleta CA www.twminduction.com at (805) 967-9478.
They listed as new SU and Zenith FI replacements.  I don't know if these are
replacements for old carbs or direct swaps for a newer fi systems.  but it
looks like it would bolt straight on.  If anyone else (with more time and
money than I) wants to take a look, please let us know what you find.
