Hey now...you're not that old. I remember gas prices at $0.25
myself...granted, I was in the back seat of my mom's Rambler...but I
remember all those things as well. I had tried that same thing with my old
Capri and the Air Pump "Forced Injection idea" but it didn't put out enough
to do anything. You just gutted them and left them on for passing the
visual inspections.

I haven't hit three digits yet but sometimes I feel that way after working
on the Dak.....and I've got more than 14 years on you. ;-D
When you was a twinkle in one (or maybe both) of your parent's eyes I had
already built a couple engines, popped the centers out of a couple American
mags (yes, they had to pay for my entire rear end and tranny.). , and went
through countless sets of tires. Gas was $.25/gallon, yes gallon, not
liter. There was no such word as emissions in the dictionary. There was no
such thing as Self Serv. There was always someone at the gas station to
smear your bugs all over your windshield for you. When they first put the
air pumps on the engines for smog, we set them up as a quasi superchargers.
