This brings up a good point.  Can you 'jump(one vehicle to another)' the FI
cars.  I have done this on my 69 Square and 72 fastback with no adverse
effects but it was a dispirit measure, but was very concerned I would do
damage.  Can anyone clear this up.  I know in the Idiots Guide and the
Owners Manual say this is a no-no.
