Hey guys, I was reading the other day that if you do a carb conv. that you also need a new cam. Was wondering exactly what cam i need and if it will be cheaper just to fix the FI, because I have the new dual carb system and the old FI which needs to be totally re-worked, all components need to be replaced. I have a 1.7.
Thanks |

All your FI components need to be replaced? I seriously doubt that. There are a lot of here that have what you need. If your gonna split the case to replace the cam, your also gonna put in all new bearings, have the crank polished, bigger pistons and cylinders, etc. It always happens. Its the "while I'm in there syndrom (better known as Dirk Wrights desease). Leave the cam and you will be fine, or....Just fix the FI!

Kinda accidentally melted everything, including wire harness, and hoses and all that, plus the injectors themselves would need to be replaced and the pressure sensor took a crap. so, if the brain box still works, that would be only lead i have on the FI, minus the metal parts of the fuel line |
