Yeah, I wondered about that when BruceR said the PW was 1.8mS + fueling.

You know how it goes; in the beginning, MANY things have to be
compensated for in the mix, together. Criminee, wadaya expect in the
70's, for injector driver/pintle-opening times anyway. I STILL consider
it quite amazing from a marketing standpoint that GM fielded a Caddy
with such a system for several years, not to mention the major gonads
required of Chrysler to put out something (even if it WAS only 100
vehicles), that tried to do same in '58. They (GM) simply could NOT have
continued for several years if the Caddy experience wasn't damn near
successful. Even in those days, that was a shit-pile of cars to deploy.

Gawd, them guys had guts in those days. I love it.
