Hi Allen,
I suspect that the boys who are reprogramming the computers on todays cars will
still be around making their special chips and new and improved engine
management
systems. Look at what we have to replace our 40 year old points today. The new
collectors will be doing things in ways we have never dreamed about. Look at
some
of todays go fast mags and see what chips are available for engines and
transmissions today and what engines fit in what cars. It's amazing what
they're
doing!
Now getting the giant plastic stuff in 40 years that are in use today, that
might
be a problem! But, someone will solve it. For example, look at the cool dash
now
that a lister has done for his own use.
