Hi Steve/Tim,

Yeah Tim, you're right A to D is correct. My typing just got ahead of my
thinking. As far as specs, I dunno on these things. Just kind of caught my
eye, and got me to thinking about what I could do with it if I stuck it in
my car.

What do you think Steve, can you think of some various sampling points on
yer vehicle that you'd like to monitor (like clutch plates?) ;-)
