[size=1]After fighting the stock F.I. on my '76 2.0L, and lots of $$$ since 2002, time for carbs. I know all the talk about F.I. is better, I will lose power and milage. The stock cam is not set up for carbs...etc,etc. All I need to know is what changes need to be made to make the dual 40's happy and getting back on the road. Hope I have not up set all you die hard F.I. folks......
Pretty simple, you'll need:
- Carb Fuel pump. The rotary pump from CB performance is the best one i have seen.
- Jumper your relay board to run the new fuel pump using the stock wiring.
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=25954- Get a good crosslinkage for your carbs. Again, CBP has the good stuff.
- Oil vapor catch can. Again, CBP. (I sound like a infomercial
)
- Distributor. You'll hear a lot of opinions on that one.
- Thick FI runner to head gaskets to insulate the runner from the hot heads.
- Adjust valves before you try to sync the carbs.
- Backdate the exhaust system and get SSI heat exchangers. That'll free up some HP.
I'm sure there's more, but that'll get you started.
