Credit given where credits due. Dr Terry has published an excellent book that has taught me a lot. It is because of his book that I respect the man so much. My score in this quiz is entirely due to Terrys book. No two ways about it. Any accolades need to go to Terry and not the winner of the quiz.

I would only have one possible dispute, th HJ dwell controller came in part way through the HJ series, but the anti lock control on the Caprice from the start, I beleive. I have not actually seen many of these and therefore could not 100% garante these were not just a voltage divider, rather than say a voltage regulator.
But yes your definition of electronics is correct.
But the HK takes it on the tacho.

It is a close call Warren. My info says the intermittent wipers were released Jan 1976 & the Delco Moraine anti-lock brakes around Mar 1976. I have only ever seen one HJ Caprice with one of these fitted, all the others have been HXs.
The anti-lock brake controller is a proper processor that takes into account road speed etc.
Good to see you agree with my electronics definition.

Hi Jim.
Questions 4, 5 & 10 are 100% correct, but with Question no. 9, why did you you limit it to Premier. The answer is EJ, but it could be any model EJ, not just the Premier.
