Won't disagree with your analysis. Still plan to properly repackage the FI Tech unit in its original boxes. Did manage to unship that goofy fuel pressure booster pump from its cradle and move it to the garage. Put the original charcoal canister back in its place and used the mounts that I made for the booster as the base for the canister. Once upon a time it used to have a band clamp type of mount that bolted to the rad cradle but not sure where that may have immigrated to. May look for it, or may just fab up a clamp that will bolt to the booster cradle and go from there. With that nuisance gone, I now have the room to put the overflow tank for the rad back where it ought to be.
Was not aware that AFR gauges existed by themselves. Think I could find some room on the dash for one if it were compact enough. Curious as to how it would be plumbed in and to where. Have sort of gotten used to being able to observe that ratio. The AVS comes with a whole laundry list of needles for adjusting the fuel delivery in the various ranges; no different from the Slide Barrel Mikunis that I used to mess with. Not even thinking about the possibility of maybe considering the notion of potentially doing anything with the needles. That it can be tuned so easily is a switch for me; i am used to dealing with dropping fuel bowls and having gas pi** all over the place.
As for the tunes, Nope, just one tune. And that is pretty much what it is set to as its default. Both the idle mixture screws and the idle stop screw can be tweaked but WHY??? I am not looking for tuning project here. Had about a decade of that with the FI TEch system and never did get it quite right. Very, very close to it at the end but then the whole tip in off idle schmozzle happened. The van does not see winter roads; it gets to hibernate in my infamous Bay One during the winter. The only thing that may happen prior to auto-rotation in the early fall is that I might pull the Monte out of Bay Two, rotate it to expose the passenger's side, and push it back into Bay Two. That gives me access to both the passenger's side door and the rocker panels, inner and outer. They both need replacing and I have had their successors sitting on the hood of the Caddy in Bay Three for the better part of a decade. You wanna talk about delays and deferrals,
