In the process of swapping the FI, on my 2.0L to Empi carbs. My research never found anything about the dizzy needing to be changed. Now I see in the Empi instructions, to swap the distributor. It sounds like, just for timing advance. I wasn't planning on the extra expense so is this necessary?
Thanks |

OK, way more info than expected. Let me try and catch up. Reason for going to carbs was that I could not get the FI to run right. Fast idle then slow idle. Took it to 3 different shops that "specialize" in old Porsches, and VW type 4. No one could get it to run right. So, go to carbs. So, it makes sense that the timing would not advance correctly. The carbs are at the mechanic shop so have not seen them in person. Don't know if they have a vacuum port. Don't know SVDA.
Superhawk. No, not bad news. Good info. Looks like I will be going to a new dizzy based on info from this post. Currently have 8 cars and a few need different things (two window regulators, brakes, timing belts, etc..). BTW - have a Boxster FS. Maybe, as Jeff post, recurving by Sprkworx may be an option with more research. Well, hope to have the car back next week sometime and see how it actually drives. Thanks for all the comments and info. |
