You guys have convinced me that you have something here. I had previously
looked at efi
and decided that it was way too expensive to consider, but this setup is a
build it
yourself version...probably not for the electronics hardware/embedded controller
software squeamish but definitely in line with typical engineering experience
and skills.
I'll probably only do this on my two ole trucks if I can make a setup that
looks retro,
but I will probably try to put one on my 66 Corvair.
I would like to be included in any discussion about this topic in the
future...probably
too high tech for most of the list though...????
Thanks!
