Nothing a little JB Weld can't fix...  Group: Members Posts: 263 Joined: 8-June 09 From: WA Member No.: 10,450 Region Association: Pacific Northwest  |
Hey everyone, I have a 71 1.7 with a single barrel webber carb and it seems like the carburator just doesnt work right. The car bogs down spits sputters and backfires when going up hills like it has no fuel going to the system. Thinking about switching over to the D-jettronic system. Whats involved and where can I pick up this whole fuel injection sytem for a descent price? Thanks
Matt hey I retract my earlier statement. I have one two barrel webber carb |

You have one single barrel carb on there? If so, I would absolutely look into either dual carbs (dual singles, dual IDFs) or stock FI.

You won't get much out of one. 70's amazing muscle cars had single carbs also.... A poorly tuned dual carb setup or a poorly tuned FI setup won't make anything better if all the single carb needs is some tuning. |
