Though my knowledge is limited to distant memories of RS kits,
shortwave dialing, and tube radio butchery, this thread is
interesting. And I'm impressed at how almost anything can be modified,
rebuilt or both in order to save our bricks from becoming distant
memories (much like the knowledge of caps and the like are in my
head!)

A question though. And I apologize in advance if this has been
answered in archives though I didn't find it.

Which is more reliable? The CIS or Digifant fuel injection system?

This will wheigh in if I make a Jettagon out of my Westy.

Keep on keepin' on dudes!
