IF you do an archive search on my name (or search the subject "FI to Carbs") you can read my experience and the thread that went along with it. http://gerry.vanagon.con/archives/vanagon.html An up date. I have a 2 barrel progressive carb and after this weekend's trip I will have run 5 tanks of gas through it and I will post a message to the list re my average fuel consumption. I can tell you now that it runs very well, and is VERY simple amd I agree that 90% of the list discussion becomes irrelevant. One problem that was not discussed in today's thread, is a warning about state emissions tests. If you live in a state with emissions tests, you will probably fail the tests with Carbs. In a few weeks I'll talk with the mechanic (PO) who did the conversion and I'll get back to every one. If you have specific quesitons, maybe I can help.
