In the /6 conversion that I'm currently running, the green car, I was using Mechanical Fuel Injection. I still think it's kind of sexy, but it's hard to get it to run really well in a 911, with everything original, and even harder in a 914 with non-stock intake and exhaust. I was not able to get rid of a big flat spot between 3K and 4K nor to get a properly functioning warm-up regulator. I got tired of the MFI and got PMO carbs instead.

I put them on the car that's running. They run ok, already, but the fine-tuning still needs to be done. I will take them to an expert to get them really tuned-up.

The install itself was easy, it's really a bolt-on exercise. Some have said that the weakest part of PMOs is the install instructions, but I thought they were OK.

Installation took 2 or 3 evenings of working slowly.

So here's an overall view:

There's something funny about up-loading picures. I can't get it to work every time.

left carb

right carb

fuel pressure regulator

fuel filters

fuel level window. It shows my level as a little high, but that may be because the engine was not running when the pics were taken. I believe the level was OK with the engine running, but I need to re-check.

Soo...... Is this the teener your bringing down to the Ramble? Inquiring minds want to know...

See you soon!!

Finally, one of the bores. You can see the 32 mm venturi. The kits are really complete, with all parts for a conversion and all the little fittings, including fuel hose and clamps.

Save the MFI parts....I might need them.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)

So....feel like taking a road trip next weekend (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

Yes, same car as I had last year. Hopefully this time I won't show up on a flatbed.
The target is to get it to run really well before the Ramble. I can then swap that engine into the new car as a unit when the time comes.

Edit: Mike, forgot to wish you my best also. And I'm looking forward to quaffing (sp?) a few ales also.

I now have a complete, and I mean complete, MFI system for sale. Including 2.2 E pump stacks and throttles. Pump works well and throttle shafts are tight (there's very slight play in one or two throttles, but I think they're ok). I probably won't advertise any more than this for a few weeks.

I'll save you a good spot.

Thanks. The plan is to come most of the way on Saturday and get a room in the thousand islands overnight. My wife said she would come !!!! (She's usually not big on car events)

If you find someone knowledgeable, attach your self like a limpet to him while he's doing the tuning job. .....ask questions, take notes & pics. Once you have the dance steps down it's a piece of cake.

Good point, JP. The gentleman who will do the tuning does know what he does, and he is probably willing to let me watch him, and to instruct me.

I'll report

As part of the work done on getting the PMOs dialed in, a big ignition problem was found, and apparently fixed.

You may read abotu it here:

Michel, where can I get a fuel pressure regulator like yours?

Are one of those lines a return line? It looks like it.
