My 82 does not seem to have a rev limiter yet...  But the early fpr's
have a slightly different pinout than the later ones, the "little" pin
is on the opposite side.  The limit may just be beyond 6500, where I
have not dared to tread...

it would certainly be fun to have a "dial in" rev limiter, eh?
