That is always the rub... What is simple for one modder, might not be so simple for another. Even objectively simple things are a little more complex for the relatively inexperienced. I just had a guy mention a "pigtail" for my directional signal light intermittent failure, and I had to look up what a pigtail is. "Pigtail" is obviously basic vocab, but my training and experience are elsewhere. We keep learning.

All that said, I agree with teoman that an active block is objectively simple. It is not like building an arduino or something objectively more complex. That means the learning curve is easier.

Good luck, hey.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
