Can you just buy a FI setup? Or do you have to resurrect your 50 system that has been in a box for forty years and you know something is wrong with it?

imo by the time you buy carbs & associated bits + then tuning you are roughly equal to what ever it will take to resurrect the OE FI. Aftermarket FI kits will be a step up in $ & complexity.

Aftermarket FI kits will be a step up in $ & complexity. what's on the car now is a a nice set of 40 IDF Webers that were on the car when I took it apart. We cleaned them and put the rebuild kit stuff on them. I also have another set of those on a spare 1.8 but they are in need of some TLC. I have the original FI in a box...I've tested some of the stuff and what i tested was operational. Of course something in the box is bad or the PO would not have swapped it out for the Webers. I'm not interested in the original FI but some new stuff might be interesting. I'm getting frustrated tuning the Webers. I'm going to check out some of the info that was posted. but I'm not starting from scratch. maybe I should just man up and learn how to tune the carbs. but i'm should investigate the new FI options. |
