    1978 Lean Burn Conversion

    the kit referenced in #32 has a knock off control box - the switching transistor is fake, real switching transistors have an insulator plate that is visible. There are other excellent sources of information besides here so come out of your parents basement and see the world.:eek: as far as...

Too bad There are some clues in the pictures that do prove it is a low mileage poorly stored car. Not my place...
