I know this is an "E"FI list, but since my interest stems from
aviation/reliability, I'd like to know all I can about the mechanical FI
systems also. Is it still used widely in automotive. Are pieces
available to build a system commercially? Sources (besides car parts
depts, of course)? Finally, is the assumption that the mechanical
systems are more reliable, a "reliable" assumption? Neophyte questions
from a neophyte.
