Cars are in Southern California. If anyone wants to look at them after this weekend you are more than welcome! HA! No reasonable offer refused (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) and quick is good.
Points well taken. If they end up being worth next to nothing, be that as it may. Maybe it will make them easier to unload as parts bin cars. Hoping I dont have an extended headache on my hands. Looking around it seems like everyone converts the fuel injected motors to carb. Is the fuel injection kit worthless and is it even worth my time going to the trouble to sell or should I bin it>? |

Is the fuel injection kit worthless and is it even worth my time going to the trouble to sell or should I bin it>? "Everyone"? Hardly. While there are a number of list members who have done so, they're in the minority, and it's usually a last resort kinda thing, or an unwillingness to properly troubleshoot and repair the EFI. Most of those who do convert their cars bug us for months, or even years, with questions about how to get their cars to run right. The volume of their posts make it seem like they're in the majority. Others just put up with it. Some of those are defiant in the defense of their choice ....... Those who change the camshaft when they do the carb conversion seem happier, though, than those who don't. Welcome to the zoo. You're the lucky winner of a response on the one day I'm in a good mood! Consider it an unearned free pass! The Cap'n |

The Cap'n (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) SOME will change to carbs, but many dont, and lots go back to FI after failed experimentation with carbs. - i am referring to stock motors. - I bought a 75 2.0 5 years ago, and immediately dug in to get the FI working. I've driven both well sorted carbed cars and FI and the FI is better IMHO. - it took me 2 weeks ang some sorting but i had my car running quickly but with cars that have been sitting here are some things you need to do. - -pull the tank- -replace the lines, pump, filters etc. -test the injectors and all FI componenents -eliminate all vac leaks - test the MPS - this will be the thing that wil lkeep it from running, in my case the mps was mounted upside down, water had gotten into it thru the weep holes on the bottom side and ruined it. once replaced it fired right up. - i since replaced all the wiring with a new harness and all sensors, but it runs like a new car now and has for several years. good luck and also (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) ! |
