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!!!

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.
