(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) with mr. b
germans basically invented electronic fuel injection. ..........and kept on reinventing it. good thing for everyone. vw never hesitated pulling the trigger. first D jet car (VW t3 fastback). first L jet cars (VW 412, VWP 914 1.8). someone's always got to lead the way. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) astonishing that the systems still operate in cars after 50+ years. testament to military grade engineering and german caution/care with new tech. |

I always thought Bendix invented electronic fuel injection? Bendix put electronic fuel injection on a Chryslerin the 50s. But it used tubes, and you had to warm up the tubes before you could start it, and vibration would cause tube failure. They never put it into production. They sold it to Bosch who built it with the brand new transistor tech in the early 60s. Clay |

Clay sent me down the rabbit hole. 1 of those chryslers left. another league of hard to find parts in a galaxy beyond D jet! https://www.allpar.com/threads/1958-chrysle...jection.228433/ |
