So i would like to switch out my weber progressive carb on my '73 for fuel injection. I was wondering what type of fuel injection would be the best quality for a decent price?

Take a look here - http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...p;hl=megasquirt
Really the only way to go for a decent price - ie under $1000.

Not the cheapest, but SDS makes a unit that is recommended by almost everyone that uses it. I have had one for about 2 years now, and it has worked great. The hardest part of the install was obtaining and installing the manifold and stiff. Here are details.

Cheap could include an L-Jet system. I might recommend not getting a 73 D-Jet system as it needs a unique to 73 MPS whereas a 74 D-Jet might interchange some parts with other years.

Cheapest would be a megasquirt, but you would still need to source a stock plenum/runners/fuel injectors/fuel pump/throttle body, so at that point you might as well throw a complete Djet on. And as a bonus, the Djet won't need to be programmed.

I would also go with stock D-jet. I got my system running very well for about $350 with a mix of used and new parts.

I did this to my 74 2l, I had to source all of the original fuel injection bits, a brain, relay board, injectors, and a wideband. It ended up costing around a grand. If you look around you might be able to find all the bits for less, but it will be tough to find a wideband for less than 250$, a brain for around 300$ and a relay board for 80, not to mention the relay/brain cable. PM James on that poll for more info. Mine started right up and ran quite well, right off with no drama(I hate drama). I drove around quite a bit, and we got it dialed in pretty well when I discovered some other issues that need to be delt with before the car see's more road time. The bottom line.... you'll need about a 1000$ to do the MS if you don't have the injection set up already.

If your 1.7L is stock, a D-Jet setup would require the least engineering on your part, it's mostly bolt-on. You can find out what components you need from my website (see sig.)

That's what i was looking at. I'd like to go with the stock system since it's made for the car...

D-jet is the simplest way to go. Mega-Squirt as well as other programmable systems can be a total pain. I have a Emerald M3D the programming was the most trouble some and expensive.
