Can we forge experience?

Hmm, speaking of experience you've reminded me I have to finish my new resume.

Lol they want experienced guys but they want people to stay up here. Younger guys usually stay longer than older experienced guys because experienced guys can get a job back home for the same money. And if you want to be a medic out here I'm sure they would hire you. They do hire green guys with their steam tickets!

They do want field experience but if you have you 4th class steam ticket they will probably hire you. It also depends on the Forman

I know. it's a tbi guy out of North carolina. I figured since he's a dedicated TBI/MPI/TPI/MPFI he should know what he's doing. If I want to figure it out myself I'd get moates or get you to help. I think I'll be ditching the TBI in a year or so.

Here's the guy's website TBI CHIPS

Odds are, if you have an issue, it will mean you broke something, after which point, I will be of no use

spare memcal* assemblies are nice, but the "custom" part that he would have ordered is the eprom...
(* = memcal is the name GM used for the (?)memory calibration chip assembly which was a small board often specific to the engine/ecm combination that the memcal is intended for, and a single eprom)

if he wrecks his memcal, I can rip the bun off his eprom, but only if it remains undamaged;
If he does have a spare memcal, I recently bought an ultraviolet eprom eraser ~ but most of the chips GM used didn't have the little window - so they were strictly a one time burn chip... and unsoldering them is a bit of a PITA.
And even though I have a proper erasing tool now, I do not yet have the proper burner for the chips GM used... so I would probably need to replace the stock eprom with an eeprom...
err... EPROM with an EEPROM.

hopefully someone followed that...
