My neighbor for many years until he died at just under a 100 told me that
he helped develop the Fish carb and that he had been under constant
surveilance ever since (60 years) . Because I was paranoid about the BATF,
I asked him if it was the government or the auto manufacturers and he told
me "both" . I never saw anybody with binocs or such, but I did see a number
of big guys with big boots and I think they had door busters hidden in
their Volkswagon bugs.

As to a battery run Scout, have you ever tried winching much without
running the motor? , or before fuel injection modifications ever try to
start one of those old unstartables? As Steve says the idea is so
preposterous, I didn't comment on it until I needed to warn you all about
inventing a 100 mpg carb.

And Steve, quit picking on our California Governor, if you think he's bad,
take a look at our CA US senators. Now, they are scary.

Wow, Tom, that may be a record rpm-without damage for a stock IH motor.
Valve float is when the valve doesn't return to it's seat quickly enough to
catch the cam trying to open it again.

Hey Steve,
The guys that have been watching me as mentioned earlier, just left. I
caught the last car full and asked where they were going. They said they
had an urgent matter in the St. Louis area.
