1973 914/4 2.0 HELP!, Injectors / Manifold Pressure Sensor / Computer - Oh my Options

[Seiler]

Hello,

I am in a quandary, should I spend the extra money an get new injectors, replace the manifold pressure sensor that is leaking, and find a fuel injection computer. Or should I convert to a Weber Carburetor setup like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/130899658464 ?

If you have any suggestions or could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

I have the same, 73 2.0L Djet,

In my opinion, I would suggest that the injectors can easily (and cheaply) be refurbished, the MPS can be rebuilt, using the kit from Tangerine racing, and there are ECU's available for the 2.0L Djet.

If the car is basically un-molested, and stock, I would keep the Djet, which is the best for daily cruising and driving, and will give you biggest return on investment if you ever sell the car.

I believe that most Carb conversions would require a slightly different cam to perform the best, and that means cracking the engine. In time/effort/money with the 3 things you have listed, keeping the Djet is what I would recommend. When you get the MPS rebuilt, you will see an immediate improvement in how the car runs.

Timing and plugs and general tune-up are also big helps after you get the big 3 done.
