I am in the DFW area.  Looking for the following.  When I do a replica, I like to do it 'right'.  Will be needing may of these parts/components.  Let me know what you have & what you want please..  Jim was always my immediate go-to when I needed something and none of my local contacts had it.  He always did a great job hooking me up with needed items in the past, and I was extremely sad to learn that he recently passed away.  Glad I took the time to stop by his place in 2012 when I was on a business trip in GB.  RIP Jim!

Also, as far as the aftermarket FI systems (vs. a 715), what are peoples experience?  Looking at ease of use to install/tune/run, and 2). How well do they work on track; e.g. starvation, etc.  Appreciate any thoughts.

Thank you in advance!!!

Bill-

Thank you for the moderation!  I realized quickly that was a handful of topics in that initial post.  Too much background detail was working against me.
