Don't know that I am a Luddite, but I am always looking at how things are done, the reason behind them, and if there is a better or easier way. As for trying to use all of the factory items, it can be a mess. I've been working on late 60's Camaro's that have the late model engines installed. It can be done, and is good, but they don't sit still on a farm running other machinery, or pulling a plow. I agree that the modern EFI is great, but when these engines are taken out of their original environment, other things change, or need to be changed as well. I don't see where connecting the speedometer sensor is going to be of any help on an engine running a generator, auger, or anything else stationery. If you use the original system with the computer, this is one sensor that will have to be in place in a lot of systems, and it will not be functioning properly. Many of the gas and diesel accelerators are a "by wire" system. They have to get certain feedback, or they just flop... There are also fuses, circuit breakers, and relays that have to be incorporated for them to work properly. Yes, we have to re-engineer a lot of things to make a simple change. It's NOT stopping progress in other areas, it's making these things work in other areas that may be of good use to others.
