Keith;
Your mention of seeing the "ultimate in Mechanical injection" reminded me of
the setup on Bob Peckham's McLaren M8C Can- Am car back in '72 & '73. It ran
a Chevy aluminum big- block built by George Bolthoff and it used Lucas timed
injection. A fuel distributor fed 8 injectors in a Crower FI manifold that
sported big stacks. It was probably one of the most advanced mechanical FI
systems ever built and it provided better performance in road racing
applications than continuous- flow systems.
One of these days, I'm going to convert an old Crower SBC stack manifold
system to EFI. I don't know how practical it will be but the look should be
stunning!

ThrottlePlates .........
If you guys want to see a Real Slide Throttle set up.... go to
www.enginemanagementsystems.com Look in the products section .... I think
you'll find these a bit more then adequate.... by the way they were all
built by a racer in his own shop....
You can then see how Current day racers are handling these needs...
I saw what I would consider to be the ultimate in Mechanical injection last
Thursday.... on Ted Wenz car at Road Atlanta... it was a timed Lucas port
injection system..... funny thing was it was done in 1972.... bet there has
been some minor progress since then...( duhhh )
