In my quest to find a MPS to replace a faulty one on a '72 1.7, I came across this:
http://www.autoatlanta.com/detail.php?Part...al_number=12563 Anybody use this? Good for a 1.7 and if/when I rebuild to 2.0 I can still use it? |

The one from Automation is the one I installed. At first car ran okay but ran lean...I believe after installation all need to be checked with an AFR meter under load and then adjusted. Period. My next move is to do this as my plan is to go 1911 when it dies.....whenever that is. Not checking the AFR will assure that it will be sooner. Good luck. |

2 years ago i first got my 2.0, found the MPS was shot, ordered the rebuild from automotion as well, and it ran good for about 18 months, at which point the mps began to leak.
i sent it back into eckler's who owns automotion, they had it for about 3 months - kept saying its on the backorder, reset the delivery date 3x , finally refunded me the original $196. so, buyer beware! i believe there was a problem getting Fuel Injection Corp. of America. to rebuild the unit . I got tired of waiting- I hope you have better luck. I sourced my next one here used one that has been resealed for $100, and it is using now, and running great! hopefully it will last for a while. Good luck The one from Automation is the one I installed. At first car ran okay but ran lean...I believe after installation all need to be checked with an AFR meter under load and then adjusted.
