      One thing I wanted to point out is how I tried to hide the fuel injection from unknown lookers. I had a small cap HEI distributor cut in half and connected to an Olds lower distributor so no one knew I was controlling the timing w/ a computer.

      The distribuuor on the left is a new Chevy small cap distributor and the one on the right is my creation. I did this because Olds never made an electronic distributor so instead of modifying (which would be easier) a big HEI destributor I make my own so it would look like the original distributor. I basically made my own cam sensor so the computer could calulate the timing. Took a little time to get it right but it works like a charm. This bit is also nessicary when it came to tuning this Holley system. Couldn't get the fuel maps right w/ out the timing working in the computer. When I first installed the FI it was only the fuel and the distributor was running on petronix (could have used points).

      I used to run the Monte a few times a year down at E-town, but haven't since I put the new motor in last year. I should get down there this year for one of the EFI Shootouts just to see what kind of times it can run. I always go to the Swapmeet, and usually have my car in the show part.

      And hey, I hear ya on the Benys part! If I come down to the beach now, it's on a weekday in the summer so I don't have to deal with all the lunatics and rude North Jerseyans. I'm a teacher, so having the summer off gives me time to play with the car and be with my wife and little kids. I haven't been to Long Branch in years; we used to fish there when I was kid when the pier was still up. After that burned down my grandfather and us used to fish over at the Point Pleasant Inlet. As for NJ membership, there's quite a few scattered all over the state. We should set up a meet sometime this summer for the NJ members to get to.

      Oh, you did a very nice job on hiding your EFI stuff, I like the sleeper look!
