sorry, probably painful ones.. that EFI system was bleeding edge technology.  the first version in '67 wasn't even radio shielded -- a strong AM station would knock it out and you had to push it a few blocks...

I had a buddy with an MSEE who built a tuneable brain for my squareback -- it was two 2716 EEPROMs and a few dials.  you could trim the mixture and set idle, that's all.  we talked about marketing it, but Gene Berg's setup stopped that

L-Jetronic, we barely knew ya!

i had a '63 JDM Notch that i partially restored.  i had finished the entire pan, suspension, engine and trans and was working on the body and had to sell it when i moved.

the notch was the coolest looking of the T3's except for maybe the Razor or the Rometsch.  Much better cooling design, nicer engine layout.
