<< Onto LBC content - has anyone actually added any computer control to the
 Spridget for engine management??  I guess they are so simple it's not
 needed, but could any power output be gained by doing this??  A few sensors
 from GM, a microcontroller and software compiler, and some free time......

I think it was back on the old MG list...when some company announced a 
generic fuel injection system, some of the computer/engineer typed were 
discussing how this could be adapted to an LBC engine.  Might have been the 
Triumph list...the engineer types there can spend two weeks discussing how a 
skirted thermostat works.
Anyway, I don't think the FI system ever made it to the market.  Seems like 
it was a Hot Rod type system.  It's amazing what you can find in a Hot Rod or 
Custom Car magazine.
Did everyone know that Grant not makes a new custom Banjo steering wheel?  
Downthe road I think this would look great in the Midget!
