I was involved in conversion of a '75 Fiat Spyder to CIS.  (It was running 2
dual side draft 40mm Webers-smokin')  Fiat later started using EFI but never
CIS.  Air ducting and fuel lines were not too big of a hassle-get someone who
has the proper kit for heat shrinking the lines-don't use rubber hose and
clamps!  But the kicker was having adaptors made to fit the small, CIS
injectors into the large EFI injector holes.  We took a  appx.2" diameter
tubular block of Delrin (?) plastic and had it machined to about the size and
shape of the EFI inj.    Expensive , but worked very well.  Used a air meter
from a BMW 320i the right size for a 2L motor, but most other FI bits were VW.
A fair amount of work, but the car was much more driveable, if not as fast. If
you need more info/advice, I'd be glad to help.  Patrick F.
