Hi folks,

I'm new to the list, and I'd just like to confess that I'm not really   
much of a fuel injection enthusiast.  Actually, I'm just a weekend   
warrior, who likes to take his car to the track for time trials, etc.   
 The thing that caught my eye about your list what the "do it yourself"   
angle, and quite honestly, that's just because I don't have the cash to   
plop down and get a turnkey product.

What I was really hoping to do (by next spring) is put together a fuel   
injection system for my Porsche 914 (Type 4 VW engine) (read: put-put)   
along with a distributorless crank-fire ignition.  Right now the car has   
points ignition, and an old Holley 2 barrel.  I really think my car could   
benifit by removing as much of the springs and gizmoze, and replace them   
with solid state computer parts.  I really think that's what makes cars   
what they are today.

I'm not much of a mechanic, but I am an accomplished computer "geek", so   
I'm hoping I will be able (with some help) to put together a FI system   
and be able to figure out how to program it, etc.

Thanks in advance...
