Bruce,
I would use a different word than "sucked" when talking about drippings from a septic tank truck.

I like it.

Made one for myself, but just a little fact sheet and not as nice as yours.

Close... Keeping in mind our Forum Rules and younger readers ..Poop would be acceptable. Since I Like this place I tend to respect the Mod's and other readers.

But you Know I'd love to say the real word's...

Cool board, but I don't believe you regarding the fuel economy...

With a 5 Speed and the MSD Atomic EFI and a A/F Mixture of 15:1 on trips. 15 Mpg is about right. Around town setting of 14:5..get's me about 11-12 Mpg.

That's the advantage of The MSD Atomic EFI..... Just punch in your stuff and drive off. No jets to change.


It's all in the hands Of the 02 Sensor and the computer GOD and TB FI... The timing is also controlled and the advance.

I have had it with Carbs.. and mechanical advance. Nice old school stuff but got worn out chasing my tail.

It's not just the slight increase in MPG ...but the over all pleasure of a car that starts and runs and adjust's itself to Altitude and Humidity inlet air temp and has an IAC (Idol Air Control) acts as your choke and also knows the engine temp and exhaust temp and mixture.

Plus..adjust's timing and advance when needed for hills and all road conditions.

An if you think you need to change something.....Call it up on the Palm controller and change it at the touch of a button.

It's like driving your late model car. Nothing to adjust. But you can with the MSD.

If you scan the bar code does it say "Porsches and Cobras Suck"?

I tried scanning it and got nothing, even when I print out the image.

If you look at the numbers under the bars, they look bogus.
