Some 10 years ago the"kill" system was being tested in Sweden but it was a speed control system. When you drove into a "control zone" like a city or town the system would control your throttle essentially. So if they wanted 55 mph, that's all your car/truck would give you. Ain't computers great?!?!
It pissed me off enough that I fitted a stock 60's distributor in the coupe initially. That and carbs.. since I understand them too! LOL
