They probably aren't made anymore. 1953 Chevrolet 3600 Fried Green T'mater (Vern) In the Stovebolt Gallery Caution: Political Statement Man who runs in front of car gets tired, man who runs behind car gets exhausted.

I was looking not too long ago for one for a 76 motor home... 454/4bbl. No mention on the websites that FI was required. In the end, didn't need it, so I have no experience with the install or anything. Current fleet (subject to change w/o notice) \'49 GMC 3/4-Ton , 60 Austin Healey Frog-eye Sprite (some assembly required), 2011 Dodge Avenger, 2015 Jeep Cherokee. No, they don't all run. My other ride is a (B737)no, (B767)no, A320.... Update... was Embraer E190, now Boeing B787. Knowledge is a wonderful thing, but ignorance means you don't know you can't do something.

It had magnets that were fastened to the drive shaft, and a sensor that mounted near them. There was a servo unit that went under the hood, with a cable that hooked on to the carburetor linkage. I'm sure you'd have to look a bit to find such a unit today, but I'm sure there's one out there somewhere. It can be done. Rich 1947 Loadmaster 1947 Chev. Loadmaster 1959 Chev.
