Collections vs. accumulations, was Re: How many collectors?

Among the wiring repairs, I had to resolder the leads into the cold-start injector socket, because when I pulled the boot back to inspect the wiring, the wires came out with virtually no force - the boot was cut and taped... it looked as if someone else pulled them out, then stuffed the bare wire ends into the backs of the crimp pins and held it together with electrical tape. I wish that was the only thing I'd found like that, but it wasn't (wire-nuts and 14 ga wire, 300% too long, wadded and stuffed down behind the air handler, yadda, yadda, yadda). At least it was only $300 and it was in good enough shape to drive 40 miles home. It's not reliable enough for regular transport, but it should be repairable. In any case, since I own two mid-1970s EFI microbuses, I'd love to have a spare EFI brain of the vintage. They are essentially analog computers with about 300 discrete components, but documentation is scant. They could be repaired in a pinch, but I don't think anyone has reverse- engineered one, so debugging would suck. -ethan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
