This is very interesting.  It adds a few details on why my Tiico that I
received in March 2000 and installed with an operating o2 sensor suddenly
overheated in Kayenta, AZ and then cracked a piston in Orderville, UT with
5000 miles on the conversion.  That was a long way from NC.  I thought if it
was running in closed loop control the mixture would be OK.

From that experience I learned that you are only just getting started with
an engine conversion swap when you get running.
