Yeah, me too but in The Peoples Republik of California you get sent to the re-education camps for that sort of thing.

The only way you could do that would be to get a aftermarket fuel injection system, something like the hot rod guys use. There is also a system called "Megasquirt" that you can build yourself, but it's pretty involved and a lot of reading and computer stuff.

The Ford system is not too bad, and at least the computer will talk to you and tell you obvious problems it sees. If you do not get any codes, then start with the basic stuff like fuel supply, vacuum leaks, and timing.

Ya the MS, BS3, tweecer looks real confusing. But kind of nice to go in there and switch stuff around to get that extra edge if ya know how to do it. Speed density doesnt give you alot of expandability. Ill see what codes I can get when the engine is running and than maybe check vacuum lines and such.
