Ok, i am getting ready to start the resto on a 74 2.0ltr. The car has been stored for 16 years and parts ( engine and interior ) stored under a house in cardboard boxes on the ground (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
As you can imagine the parts now have a lovly coating of rust and the interior is shot, SO questions ; - the engine will be rebuilt with carbs , so do i still need a ecu and what do i do with the injection system chuck it / any parts worth anything? - With the interior and seats do i (a) look for a mint set out of another car and import everything or ((IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) buy the recover items and pay for the trim guy to recover everything? - what changes to the wiring harness is required when changing to carbs? |

missing my NY 914 in VA ![]() ![]() ![]() Group: Members Posts: 1,336 Joined: 26-November 07 From: Oakton VA Member No.: 8,376 Region Association: MidAtlantic Region ![]() |
Don't be so hasty to dump the FI.
When i bought my 914 in 87, the engine had sat on a bench outside (uncovered) for 7 years. In the end, all I had to do was buy new hoses (and rebuilt injectors) and I was able to get the car to start. FI stuff is worth something as so much is NLA, and make sure you are ready to split the case to put a new cam in if you go with carbs. Otherwise, it will never be right. Good luck and I hope this helps. |
