    Two weeks ago a kid in the local vocational school ran a sanding disc across his chest to the tune of 73 stitches. He's a tough kid. He was back in school the next day!

    Back in the early 90's, I converted a 258 jeep engine to efi... used the factory stuff from a Comanche....also used a rv pulling cam.... mistake,,,,, it idled good,,, ran like a bear as long as you were accellerating,,,, but the gas mileage was no better... and at hwy speeds with a steady throttle, it had a ''stutter'' that I could not tune out.... it seems that the cam was incompatible with the brain box.... finally , I went back to a carb... problem solved....
