I've often thought about what I would do if I couldnt source certain parts such as ECUs or sensors and so forth. I figure worst case scenario I could convert to use a haltech or megasquirt. Adapt some kind of aftermarket sensors. It is after all a lifetime project car. Improvise, adapt, overcome.

I have written on this subject several times before. The fear of parking brakes is greater than the reality. The biggest issue is everyone thinks it is a fit and forget issue. That is where it all goes sadly wrong. The 2nd thing is that in particular is with auto trans where the parking brake is sel...

Nevada makes good contributions just like you. Let's realize that we all actually like each other and get back to stocking 850 parts.
