1976 2.0 on carburetors?, Good bye Fuel injection? Options

[Mr.Vman]

!976 2.0 barn find, been sitting for yearsn no rust, good condtion. Going through brakes and chassis rubber, struts, shocks make a nice driver. Have not driven the car yet, has fuel injection, idle varies, vacuum leak? What is going on with no carburetors on a stock 2.0? Because of the camshaft timing carburetors do poorly? Is this true or a tale? Seems carburetors would be simple. Is this a myth of no carburetors on a 2.0? Thanks for the time and information. Steve V.

To the OP (who has not re-posted!)

Whatever you do hit that link I provided in the 3rd post.

That is a multi-page/link laydown on how to do modern FI cheaply. he did a good job!

The first article is the best. What it starts with is a functional D-Jet that the owner is having pretty normal 50-year-old D-jet issues with and his thought process about repairing it or replacing it. he explains how each of the systems work in layman's terms.

The first "article" should be REQUIRED reading before spending any money.

Carbs can work; you can find inexpensive. I found a complete kit on E-bay (no fuel pump) for 470 shipped. As I can't recommend it, I didn't post the link.

I'm not sure why 914werke is so negative.

We're a bunch of old car guys and we can be cantankerous.

And WOW, the forum has been glitchy over the last couple of days.

Both emerygt350 and 914werke got caught in black holes...
