the limit sure is not 10 mA.  heck, it'll run -40 mA to kill the excess
fuel when you hit the idle switch, for example.  I never looked to see
how high I could get he current to go "+" though.

cool.  i wonder how close my theory might have been?  I wonder if we
will ever know?  I think it is time to start driving with a DPR current
meter in circuit.  WOT is easy, you can check it anytime just off idle,
compare that to what you get under that strong boost.  Hint, let a
passenger read the meter.  You'll be too busy watching the tach and
shifting from what I remember of Marc's 4kqt.  Not much room between 3k
and 6k rpm with that engine :-) :-))))  <-- excessive grins
