Looking into a well-kept 76 2.0 liter with 130K.
Strong looker with "no rust" but has carbs and I told myself I really want injection. The injection parts are in a sealed cardboard box, car has had carbs (almost typed "crabs") for 15 years or more. Question is, why did I tell myself I want injection? I'm not a real CW but one of the vendors' site about buying the 914 has the "beware the carbs" caveat in the article. More HP out of the engine with carbs? More reliable? Thanks for advice. biz |

I purchased all the FI and was going to install it on my car, but remembered how much of a headache it was messing with it on my last car. I purchased two professionally rebuilt Dells off ebay and am realllllly happy I did. I configured them according to the Dellorto superperformance book, and they ran great from the start with hardly any tinkering.
All the FI stuff is on ebay. I love Dellortos. |
