Dan,
You must have hit Jake on a good day or maybe he has just mellowed over
the years.
He used to be pretty gruff and crusty and suffered no fools.
Cheers, dave

Thanks Ray. I used to amaze myself with my articles I wrote simply
because
I hated writing so much in school. When I could type my thoughts, it
seemed
to flow so much easier.
I've been scanning the net for the parts I'll need to do the conversion
on a
type 1. The choices are endless, but one thing I'm discovering is that
the
one TPS I need, is the one that costs so blooming much...like 60 to 80
bucks
easy. Yet there are TPS units from other cars - less easy to work with -
for well under 10 bucks and sometimes under 5. It looks like I will be
getting resourceful and possible even utilizing some 3D printing to make
adapters.
If I'm ever in PA, I will take you up on your offer. Enid and I were
coming
back from Maine last October and had a 13 hour layover in Philadelphia
primarily because I didn't notice the different between AM and PM on the
flight itinerary. That was a long day.
I'm assuming that FI isn't something most guys are interested in due to
the
lack of response on here and that is okay. I was doing even more
brainstorming today about what I would do if my FI system crashed so then
I
started thinking about putting a TPS on a 34-pict-3 and just leaving the
fuel shut off to the carb. If anytime my tps failed, I'd disable
everything
including the fuel pump, and switch over to old carburetor mode so I could
keep on going.
Carburetors just don't impress me now that we have FI and with the pull of
Dave's 1776 etched in my mind, I can't say no any more. Just gotta work
toward saving some bucks by being a bit more ingenious with how to home
brew
this entire thing.
