It's possible to do this, folks on the list have done it and can give details. You may be getting more troubles than just fixing the FI installation. I've only seen one complete OEM carb install in all the wrecks I've seen and even then, I'm not sure all the linkage was there. Might cost you more to convert than finding out what's wrong with the FI stuff. Dual carbs were really popular with the sand rail and buggy crowd, at least in CA where I was. Most TIII linkages only lasted minutes after a wreck was towed in. The complete setup was going for over $250 at the time. Unless you had a complete engine fire that toasted everything, the FI stuff is fixable. I'd rather troubleshoot it than try to figure out carburetor jetting, synchronization, carb linkage adjustment, fuel pump conversion, wiring, etc. Depending on where you live, this may not be legal, some localities are pretty sticky about keeping existing emissions equipment(FI in this case). Just my opinion. On Wed, 06 Jan 1999 03:24:12 -0500, you wrote: >Hi, > > I have had been thinking about this for a while, my fuel injection on my >squareback '73 is totaled.
