   Except, quickly, they went TOO far ......

   As said - *I* want to know, but NO tattling !

   And SCREW "emergency mode" if something is
   slightly out of spec !

   Injection and at least CD ignitions really DID
   improve power/startability. Carbs worked, but
   only just SO well.

   "Carburetors man ! That's what life is all about !"

   Anyway, cheap ultrasonic flow sensors, temperature
   sensors and such are easily had now - some are
   One-Wire. The BRAKE info ... it comes to me that
   the pads might be considered to be part of a
   capacitance RC circuit - so something kinda
   simple might be assembled. Most 60s cars used
   DRUM brakes, you got maybe two or three good
   apps before they'd fade.

   I remember kits (Whitney?) so you could put
   two, maybe three, carbs onto a 6-cyl - up
   to four on a V-8.
