<x-charset iso-8859-1>Okay, I just got back from doing a quick inventory of the parts that I know belong to the fuel injection. There may be a couple components that are either still on the car or are in other boxes since I didn't realize they were FI parts. Keep in mind that my entire aircooled experience started when I towed this thing home on Thursday. What I have in the box is: Quantity Description P/N 2 Intake Air Distributor 311.133.105 2 Throttle Switch (attached to above 311.906.111 1 Pressure Sensor 022.906.051B 1 Pressure Sensor 311.906.051B 1 Pressure Switch 311.906.071A 1 ECU w/harness 311.906.021A In addition, I have a pair of intake manifold assemblies, complete with all the seals, injectors, and hoses. The manifolds themselves are rusty but salvagable, but the fuel injectors have been siliconed shut (in the attached rubber hoses and in the electronic connectors.) The impression I got is that someone got fed up with the fuel injection and did some sort of partial conversion. Even without the silicone, the injectors are rusty beyond use. I have an incorrect distributor (it does not have the fuel injection trigger), nor does it appear that I have the correct fuel pump. So what am I missing?
