I am on my last nerve trying to get my 74 1.8 ltr L Jetronic fuel injected car started. Bypassed the seatbelt interlock to get the starter to work. Hot wired the fuel pump to get it working and still no go.
I am considering a carburetor conversion and see that Redline has a few kits. The dual carbs system has no choke and the single carb with electric choke has some distance from the cylinder heads. Anyone have any success they could share? |

Love my Redline Weber kit and Petronix distributor. Far less points of failure and it new!! The FI systems on these cars are just old. Can’t fix old. It’s a law of physics called thermodynamics. Keep the FI in a box somewhere safe in case the next caretaker of the car wants it. No shame it wanting new fuel and ignition systems.
