Cool. I found the thread and an article:

Curbside Classic Special: 1959 Edsel

I find it very interesting because I have a '61 Comet (which has Edsel relations) with a propane-carbed turbo 2.3. I wonder what kind of mileage I could get if I redid it with EFI.

I half considered mentioning the turbo 2.3 to the person with the pickup, but since he doesn't want EFI I don't think that's a good choice.
