I am converting L Jetronic fuel Injection to single carb with electric choke. Is there any use for the double relay?

The carb conversion is underway. A simple answer to a simple question would be nice. The comment that the L Jetronic fix is easy does not help.
P.S. I can reinstall the L Jetronic system if I do not like the results from the carb conversion. Getting the car on the road is all I am trying to do. |

Cut out all the wiring (or wrap it into a little ball and tie-wrap it to the side), remove the double relay, remove the relay plate, and start from scratch on engine compartment wiring. Alternatively, you could keep the relay plate to manage the pump and blower motor." You'll basically need power to the coil and the yellow wire to the starter. How you decide to mount and manage the replacement fuel pump is at your discretion. You'll want to get access to a factory wiring diagram to understand what all that is doing for you. <-- owns both a D-jet street car and a dual-Dellorto race car... |
