<VV> 1964 personality.

[MarK Durham]

Matt's right, that computer adjusts to current conditions so it behaves the
same no matter what the conditions.

But on the Corvair, it's your brain that must make those calculations and
adjust your behavior to get the car to act similar.

You decide how much gas to give it, when to give the gas, and when its warm
enough to drive. Even then, due to fixed orfices in the carbs and a fixed
setting at the distributor, what you do will usually be too little or too
much gas for the conditions resulting in a no start until you pump it more,
where then it will likely have to much. Plus, any given choke setting is
also an approximation. Yes, it works at different temps, but not as well as
the computer does it.

But then, that's part of the fun of the drive. Its you working with the
machine. I love it!
