(MPC) L jet (AFC) is the superior system and much simpler than the d, but was only available on the 74 75 1.8 and 2.0 912e models. The systems are totally different one using an air flow meter and the other using a manifold pressure sensor, for starters! |

Yes. Because of its simplicity, L jet IS more reliable. One needs to watch the air flow meter for lean backfire when starting cold, and keep the dual relay clean, but beyond that it is great.
The caveat is that since the system was only made for two years and that 75 adn 74 are slightly different (seven pin vs six pin air box and harness) that finding used parts for the system would be hard.

Hey George, I have the six pin ('74) air box and as stated it is very reliable...love it. What does the 7th pin connect to on the 2.0, 912E? |
