Thank you! It's been a long road, and I'm not finished yet. Right
now I have a bit of a problem with the mass airflow unit that will
probably result in dispensing with the factory computer and putting in
a speed density system like the Megasquirt.

That's ok. I was flattered, at least for a moment!

Maybe not pure H2, but a gas fuel will definitely work. (Although
with gas prices going up all the time, electrolytic hydrogen might
actually be cheaper pretty soon!) Direct injection is the way to go
with gaseous fuels, and since my cylinder head has TWO spark plugs for
each chamber, I don't have to modify the head to do it. I've been
looking into building a modified gasification unit to run a
combination of compressed wood gas (for volatility) and vegetable oil,
since I can't do ethanol up here. With a programmable onboard
computer, I can change the injection parameters to suit any fuel I
want to run. Whether I can pull that off on my own is another story,
however . . .
