Alright, I am at a crossroads! I just purchased a '74 2.0. This car had a little run in with a welder, a fuel line, some flames, and some foam from the friendly neighborhood fire department. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) This car was fuel injected with the Djet ( i believe??) You see the fire was contained to the battery side of the vehicle. Minimal damage. One of the biggest problems is the fact that the fuel injection control box was completely melted!! What I want to know is opinions on whether I should stay fuel injected and try to find the right controller (can't see any numbers on it) or if I should convert to carbs???
The biggest problem I am finding so far is finding the controller and the wiring harnes as they were both completely melted. I did find a parts car that I bought and will use some of the parts but unfortunately it doesn't have either of those parts! Any help that you all could give me would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks! rd |

I would stay with the FI, especially on a 73 or 74 2.0. Your car will be worth more, and when its set up correctly, it works amazingly well.
I would only put carbs on a motor built to have carbs. BTW you can figure out what ECU you need by what MPS you have. But, I would start with the assumption your stuff is 1974. Check out Brad Anders site(see below). Lotsa good info for you there. And post a WTB here, someone has what you need for sure. http://members.rennlist.com/pbanders/ |
