Hi Tom,

    Yes the Howell is more expensive (and not as much fun) as 
researching and hunting down all the necessary parts and information, 
but time is at a premium, so this worked best for me!  Now all I need to 
do is install it.  I thought of MegaSquirt, but haven't the time for it 
either.

Regards,

Russell
