Stan,

  I've been having trouble posting pictures but I'll work on it.

Thanx, Harv.  Lookin' good.  A lot different than the last shot on your build site.

Stainless,

I see I forgot to answer your question about the fuel ratio on my lakester. It was running 16.5:1. I kept trying to richen it but somehow the little window on the floppy got closed up and I forgot to check it. I couldn't save the new program so I keep putting the same one back in the ECU. I was trying to start at 12.5:1. The exhaust temp was running 1300 f. but I think the plug reading was good. Reading plugs that are running on un-leaded gas is not one of my better skills!

My laptop floppy drive was broken by the time I got home. Probably salt worms. I'm looking for a old lap top with Win 95 or 98 now..  I've been holding off shooting the drive with WD40 but might as well go ahead and do it, its no good to me the way it is. Hope to see you at WOS.

Check your local Craigslist for a Toughbook.  Nice used Military/Police spec laptops suitable for doing an automotive ECU go for around $300 around here.
