Currently have a 2.2E/S with Webers. It runs well and makes good power, having been tuned on the dyno and further dialed in since then, but I have discovered I'm just not a carburetor person. Fuel economy isn't good enough for the size of engine/car, and the emissions bother me—both in terms of the smells in my garage and while driving the car. And yes, we've been totally spoiled by low emissions cars.
What I'm curious about, for anyone who has lived with carbs and MFI: Is MFI noticeably cleaner and/or more efficient than carbs? Or is EFI the way to go? I'm in no hurry on this, but curious for the experiences of others. Yes, Motronic, but I actually like the 2.2 engine. Thanks! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Pete,
You’ve seen my car at the EASY get togethers and have probably heard me rave about how much I love my EFI conversion with PMO ITB’s and COP’S on my 3.2 conversion in my 73 long hood. Next time we meet up I will let you take it for drive to see what you think. For me, in addition to the significant performance boost from the conversion, which I wasn’t expecting, the other main reason I did it was to give the engine bay that old school vibe since the PMO’s look just like carbs plus I love how uncluttered the engine looks. See for yourself. |
