I'm re-wiring, and bought this cheap $40 chinese oscilloscope to add to my inventory of testing equipment. A friend of mine thought one of the injector drivers on his EFI computer was going out, so...

I got mine from U-haul in 2018 for Drag Week. Had to play around with the trim options to get it to say one was available. Took like 20-25 days to show up. I'll see if I can dig up my order form.

Pretty much all modern bearing and ring offerings are superior to 1960's OE parts, so isn't a real consideration when comparing the 1bbl to 4bbl today. Pistons, crank, rods and block are the same.
