Easily Add Power with Tunit Tuning
Tunit provides an efficient and adaptable method of enhancing a vehicles performance (power and torque) without the need to alter the vehicles original equipment or programming. The advantages of the Tunit are; adjustment for optimum efficiency (both manually, by the customer and electronically, via a PC by a distributor), flexibility, as in movement from one vehicle to the next and ease of installation. The principle of Tunit is to provide all these advantages that previous methods of tuning such as EPROM replacement and "flashing" or OBD tuning could not. [Complete Article]
Well, I did what I should have done in the beginning and bought a lead test kit. I used the battery terminal as a control to make sure the test worked. The paint is lead free.

As stated above, the top coat was enamel. I do remember that in the 1960s you could still buy "red lead" primer in spray cans. However, I doubt any of the primer used by car companies was lead based.
I was merrily sanding away at my seat frames this morning and it occurred to me that these things are pretty old--46 years-- and could have been painted with lead paint. My understanding is that lead paint was used mainly for home interiors, but I thought I should probably check whether I was creating a minor environmental disaster. Anyone know if lead paint was used on car interiors, particularly seat frames?
