How could I laugh at a near perfect stranger who drives all the way up to my house in Maryland from the Carolinas to help me shoe-horn my transmission in, in the dark and rain without proper tools? It's your car, if you want to slap a carb on it, I'm not going to say boo and the -rest- of us shouldn't either. Same as smashing one at an air show. I think it's a waste but I'm not going to tell anyone not to do it. I think you've made a lot of great little mods to your car so I wouldn't say you are stuck in the past. Despite your grumblings about your car and it's idle I thought it ran great from what I could see. This guy just runs around in the park with a sharp stick popping everyone's bubble. Forget him. --- In DMCForum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "content22207" <brobertson@xxxx> wrote: > >--- In DMCForum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "checksix3" <jetjock11@xxxx> wrote: > > As far as > > reliabilty, continuous mechanical FI is the mainstay of high > > performace piston powered aircraft.
