Re: [T3] Converting 1970 fastback FI to Carb(s)?


Converting to carbs will be 10 times more expensive than getting the FI
working.  You have the wrong mechanic working on it...  its the most simple
straight forward EFI system out there, if he cant handle that then the last
thing you want is him putting a carb setup on it.  I will forward you the FI
FAQ, its really easy to get a no-start FI working again and cheap... but
make sure your problem isnt the ignition first, it often is.

ONE trip in the salt and you might as well drive it for the rest of the
winter! you'll never get all the salt out of the seams and rockers.... avoid
salt at all cost!  Ive still got salt in crevices in mine and it hasnt seen
a winter since 92.  $300 and you can have a ratty 'ol A2 VW which will run
forever and cost nill to fix.
