Ramon,


The fuel injection on that version jetta (91) worked very well and are
almost trouble free. They also are less restrictive on needed space. They
have a knock sensor built in. If it were me I would stay with the engine's
current management system. Carbs are simplier but In my experience, more
trouble. I have not done a conversion to my vanagon but have messed with the
digijet that's on the 1.9 models and am very comfortable with it. When I was
younger, cars had carburators and they were a pain. I wish you luck on your
conversion. My "dream vanagon" would have a TDI engine and auto trans. (for
the wife)


Joe
