My car has a 1.7 single carb but I have access to a 1.8 fi motor. Should I do a swap when the motor and tranny are out for a clutch replacement??

Jim,
The FI will run better and get better mileage than the single weber carb. It will also make the engine last longer. To get a air cooled 914 to run with that carb, you have to run it really rich because the fuel drops out of atomization at the manifold below the carb. I would put the injection back on. Easy starting, and smoother running. But remember, I dislike carbs, so my opinion is biased. |
