No worries Don heh I have a mouth and a right foot big enough to handle
the worst situations :D

Hows the Vert Dak doing?? Get any estimates on the body work?

I'm starting to get the bug to get Christine finished - however I'm not
sure how I'm going to do it just yet. Odds are I'm going ot have the
finally break down and strip the 1995 Dak I bought and do a full MPFI
Magnum conversion like you did.

My plans to adapt a factory-like TBI fuelie dealy just seems to not want
to work. I ran into electronics compatibilty issues between the SMECS -
the Ram units don't have provisions to control my 46RH trannys
electronic OD and converter lock up. And a Premag GenII (90/91) Dak 318
computer is not the same pinouts as 88-89 SMECS - they changed the ECM's
in 90.

Miggity Mike! if you are out there - sorry bro - I can't keep it a
Premagger :-(
