The 'only' power module, sold (not designed, mind you.  another thing they
stole) by Autotech.  It is a lil' box, that connects to your full throttle
switch, your coil, your fuel distributor, and a ground.  It senses when
you're in high revs and have Wide Open Throttle and tells the fuel dist. to
send a lil' extra fuel.  

Other systems have injection AND ignition in the same box, making them
'chippable', but our cars are not the case.  This is the best they can do
for us.  Sigh....

And you're not an idiot, Rich.  I can't stand to see you beat yourself up
like that!!  We LOVE you Rich!  ;-)))))
