Agree completely. I have a bid on EBay Australia for a new Bosch 11051 single wire as used on SAABs pre catalyst days. Currently at $5-50 AU, ie., only two beers. I also like the Nordskog gauge (NRD-M9200) at www.summitracing.com at $60 US which gives a numeric readout of ratio rather than a bar graph.
As for lead......well at the cost of two beers who cares!!

Anything leaner than 15:1 will probably make the cylinder so hot internally that you will begin detonating in short order. Most engines I am familiar with cannot run under load at stoichemetric, only at cruise. The one wires are cheap and will be very resistant to contamination for a good while. Bosch sells the best ones that last the longest. > > Colin > crain...@cfl.rr.com > http://kr-builder.org/Colin/index.html > KR2(td) N96TA > Sanford, FL > Apex Lending, Inc. > 407-323-6960 (p) > 407-557-3260 (f) > crai...@apexlending.com > _______________________________________ > Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp > to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net > please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
