<VV> Corvair and OBD, EFI, etc

Mostly, stock-ists who regale the benefits of mechanical fuel pumps, and 
that ongoing debate.

They are good and continue to work, but electronic lends itself to hot new 
ideas that yield more precise control of engines, but Corvairs heat ranges 
mean we can't adapt most items without much modification ?

Still interesting ..

However, I can smell a classic car a half-mile away from its fumes !  That's 
the only drawback, and we are exempt until someone gets in a bad mood about 
classic cars !
