Comments: To: vanagon@VANAGON.COM

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.
