Problems with carbs:  Will automatically fail emmissions testing in most
areas, will produce more polution, and and won't run as well as a stock
setup in good condition.  FI isn't that hard to work on if you take the
time to learn a bit about it.  If you buy this van, you should consider
returning it to stock.

<excerpt>I'm going to take a look at an 81 Camper on Saturday - the
engine does not run, but everything else sounds good.  It does, however,
have carbs instead of fuel injection.  Anybody know anything about this -
is it good or bad?  I guess the FI broke, so a previous owner stuck the
carbs on instead.  Could this be bad for me if I want to get the engine
rebuilt?  Any comments would be most gratefully appreciated.
