Re: IML: re: 83 EFI



You guys noticed that we got some really fine
reference material posted to the site recently?

There has been more info on EFI posted to the site in
the last 6 months than in the last 10 years...

I suspect that some research may be in order if you're
intent on licking this - the "Gold Book" seems
particularly promising with notes from the original
engineering team from the time.
