Hey Guys,
I'm about 6 months into searching and researching these cars(914) and from what I gather...they were designed for fuel injection and should have fuel injection to work properly. I've read the warnings of poor engine runnings and bad gas mileage and all...but I still see SO many great cars that I've passed up because they are carbed. Can someone give me a little context in how to think about this stuff? I'm not a gear head and don't have enough knowledge to know why and why not. Anybody? I know what George at Auto Atlanta thinks....what about the rest of you guys? I'm a newbie and need your sage advice. Thoughts guys? Thanks for any clarity or perspective. Jim |

just buy the least rusty, most complete, cleanest car you can afford in that order.
that is the best money spent and will cost the least to be happy with. if it has carbs and has a stock engine you can re install the F/I with the help from guys here that have taken good f/i systems off of rusty wreaks. just post up a want to buy. L-Jet can be run on any of the engines with a little tweeking and will be less hassle in the long run. |
