   I just got back from the local motor-vehical graveyard and somebody had
put a holly carb on a 1.9L engine.  The injectors were sealed off at the
fuel rail, and when I removed them were actually melted pretty bad.  There
is a wire going from the coil to the carb, and then off to somewhere's else
but it was cut so I don't know where.  The carb looks like its in good
shape, no varnish inside.

Who's heard of doing such a thing?  Did something fail, prompting him to
replace the fuel injection, or was this an 'upgrade'?

I was thinking about buying the carb from the yard, for about 40 bucks, and
putting it on my van for kicks to see what happens.  I'm curious what a
2barrel carb would do to performance.
