Rich Wisotzkey sent me some copies of articles I was interested in and one of
them is has to do with modifying the intake. It ws in the July '97 issue of
Mopar Muscle and is titled "Inductive Reasoning" if I get time tonight i'll try
to scan them in and post them in the attachments section of the DML homepage.
The only problem is they are copies and they might not come out.
