Getting everything together to install a 2056 into my '72 and swap out the steady, reliable 1.7L I've been running. The 2056 is '73 but came with '74 ECU/MPS combo. The part numbers are 049 on the MPS and 044 on the ECU. Sometimes I'm not sure if I read that ECU/MPS compatibility table on Anders D-Jet site correctly. Is the 049/044 a winning combination?
Also, I've read here that a 2056 really should run with an adjustable MPS. A couple of months ago I converted my 1.7L MPS to adjustable with the Tangerine kit. Any thoughts on whether I could effectively run my MPS (007) just by adjusting it appropriately, or are there other compatibility issues? Or do I need to make that '74 MPS adjustable? Thanks for the help. |

Rob, thanks for starting this thread. I also have a 2056 with D-Jet, but the cam is more suited for carbs. I didn't build this engine, but it's the one I have, and I know some things need to be adjusted to make it more driveable. It wouldn't surprise me if my MPS needs adjustment or reconditioning. |

My motives were 100% selfish but you're welcome! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) If you need to recondition or make your MPS adjustable, the kit from Tangerine is great and comes with very good instructions. I also have a bunch of pictures I took of the process I can share. Pic of inside a early cover showing the cast in stop ring. The spacer looks like the paper gasket in the pic except its thicker of course. I don't have one handy for a pic. Yeah, thanks Geoff. Not that you are looking to be the "MPS spacer vendor" or anything but if you have extra looks like there are a couple of us that would be interested. Going through this process and doing some research it appears my 0 280 100 007 isn't a 914 original part and may be designed for Type III. Someone may have used that out of convenience during a rebuild years ago. The MPS that came with my 2056 IS meant for a 1.7. So maybe I swap MPS's and see if I can tune the 007 to work with the 2056 and/or start sourcing for a 043. This has been very helpful, Geoff (and Jeff). Thanks. |
