Ah....say what! I now know I am a true EFI\ neophyt. I don't know what
the difference between a j-car and f-body. What is VSS? What would I do
with a taxi transducer? What does it do? Can't you get a EPROM without
VATS? If not, how do you address it with radio shack parts? What is a
calpac? Is it another name for an EPROM?
