What is this "bad press about FI problems"? It is just the reverse.  
The original FI works better and more reliably than any carb  
conversion ever could.

This summer I will be in the market for a Porsche 914. That's another  
car where many people, mostly out of pure ignorance, have opted to do  
carburator conversions. I would not touch any of them with a 10 foot  
pole.
