========================================================================= Date: Sender: Vanagon Mailing List <vanagon@vanagon.com> From: Subject: Retro-fitting F.I. OK, here goes - I've been considering getting a used (junkyard) FI unit and installing it on my '73 Campmobile. I got rid of the dual solex units years ago for Del Orto units and now have tons of power, but am paying for it in gas. As I have a 2.0, I feel that the FI is the only other option (BTW - anybody ever use a single progressive Weber setup on a 2.0 - what jet sizes?). 1) Is it risky to get a junkyard FI unit? 2) What are all the parts that I should look for? 3) Any idea what this would cost? 4) Anybody have a source locally they can trust? 5) Could I hope to get 18 mpg? 6) Is this a really dumb idea - trading into a nightmare? TIA Dean Aukes P.S. The post about breadloaf owners desiring more heat was so true for this - I miss my Eberspacher, and it won't fit with the Dels.
