RE: Rev-limiter removal?

["Chris DeLong" <green536@hotmail.com>]

All this talk of rev limiters and knock sensors has made me offer up my 
experience this last weekend.

I swapped my knock-box and readjusted my timing. The engine now winds up to 
the full mark on the gas gauge. Before it would only go to about 6800 RPM's. 
I am using carbs with the stock FP relay in my '80. NO rev limiter!! Wooo  
HOOO!!!!
