Hi,


I don't want to disparage on your merchandise but carbs were to the
automobile engine what steam engines were railroads. Effective but
complicated, very unpredictable, expensive and "dirty".


The Vanagon Digifant digital engine management system is reliable,
predictable and easy to troubleshoot. The many fuel injection horror stories
and tales of great expense are usually generated by "carburetor mechanics"
trying to do the work of "engine management technicians".


Also the Digifant control module is programmed to have a certain volume of
fuel in the combustion process from mS to mS. A carburetor cannot make the
needed millisecond changes thus engine performance will suffer.


Install the carbs on the engine they were designed for and leave the Vanagon
digifant systems intact.


Regards,        John
