is it worth the cost (?) of keeping some in the garage for future use?
yeah. I have a complete 1.7 D-Jet system.

i have my 1.7L Djet ECU+harness for sale on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8027231639&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT
When you say "complete system", what exactly is a complete system?
good question...
mps+runners w/injectors+plenum+ecu+harness...
b
i have a 2.0 so how do i know the difference between the 1.7 and the 2.0? or can some of the parts be interchangeable?
well...I was using my djet system as an example.
but a 914 2.0 engine will have three studs on the intake manifold connection point, while the 1.7/1.8 and even the VW 2.0 engine (bus) will have 4-studs...
the intake plenum and the throttle body will be facing upward on a 2.0, while the throttle body will be facing horizontally in a 1.7/1.8
and the spark plugs will be angled more toward the intake runners in a 2.0, while the plugs in a 1.7/1.8 and the VW bus engines will be almost straight up.
b
ahhhhhh! got it. Fairly simple when explained. i'm still learning the names of the parts
by the way, is there any specialty tools that i need for the car? eventually i plan on doing my own tune-ups and other engine/brake stuff.

a basic metric tool set to start with, a digital volt meter, timing light are good things to have to get you started |

Yes, collect all you can for your F.I. install or spare parts collection. Try to find somebody's takeoff so you get all those small costly items. At today's prices you will be spending about $1,000 bucks unless the guy does not know what he has.
Here's a picture of the parts off a complete 73-74 D-Jet system. Dis-regard the upper right hand corner tail lights & bumper tips. This F.I. system is complete except the fuel pump. I didn't get with my purchase.

Here's the money shot of the heart of the system. MPS
Expect to pay $200 to $800 for a good used one. New ones are now about $1,500 bucks.

Tom, were you able to get a replacement MPS for that leaker?
Geoff,
Yes, they replaced my leaker with a new MPS "free/no charge". I was concerned because I bought it a year ago & explained the situtation that it was hardly used. No problem dealing with a reputable dealer.
Tom
Did you notice it was made in France. Maybe that's why it leaked.

AAR valves are find too!
I have a few good MPS's and AAR valves in my stash.
At every swap meet I can usually find an MPS for $5-20. I bring my Mityvac and test it on the spot.
