I am seriously looking at megasquirt as a solution for both my 1st
generation rx7 gsl-se's and the my 84 vanagon, they both suffer from pretty
much the same digijet technology. Does anyone on the list have real hands-on
experience with megasquirt and a vanagon or mazda. I have read the web
sites, and such, but really would like to hear it first hand.

I am really to old for heavy lifting, even medium lifting is pretty hard
these days.

Less than 60 days to EveryBus2006. "Sometimes you just have to camp!"
