Oops, I can see I stepped on somebody's ego.  Duane, I'm sorry
since you obviously took offense to my message - my opinion
does not necessarily reflect the quality of the discussions in this
group.  No reason to take offense here - Perhaps I was a bit too
pompous, I don't mean to condescend.  I am constantly learning
new things about automobiles and technology and I consider
myself "ignorant" in many subjects.  However, I still insist that the
level of complexity in any EFI unit is far greater than that of
a carburetor.  I guess not everyone liked my analogies and my
descriptive stereotypes...  for that I apologize.
