[Spridgets] Chaparral Can Am 1967

[BJNoSHOV8]

FI had been used on drag cars for a long time, the systems used in CanAm 
on American V8 engines looked to me just like the systems used on drag 
cars.  An FI system for a drag car can be relatively simple.  For street 
use a system would need to idle smoothly, run at low speeds and high 
speeds, run when cold, when hot, get good mileage, limit emissions, 
etc.  In a race car the range of operation is much more narrow.
