Would be a good side income to make this happen... One could develop a manual fuel injection unit to replace the electronic one (sprint cars run them), and a simple electronic ignition system to replace all the computerized stuff used on these engines while in a street driven vehicle. Of course, you'd have to emblazon the Calif. Motto: OFF ROAD USE ONLY on all of it, but for farm/tractor use, this would work. Since I do body repair, I don't get that far into the mechanics of them anymore. There used to be units that could be purchased to start an engine that would not otherwise start for diagnostics. It would basically take the place of the distributor (or ignition module) and you could make it run. Re-po agents and other folks of a not so nice nature started using them, and I have not seen them in a long time, so they may have outlawed them. The injection unit could be mechanical, and work off of the camshaft etc. As an engine for off road, stationery work, or farm use, it would not at this time have to be certified by the EPA I don't think, but that is changing everyday. Just a thought or two, and maybe be able to keep the cost down, so it would be worth the conversion.

And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
