Re: I need an alternative! 1800 72

posted by  someone claiming to be Christopher on  Mon May 7 10:34 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I did it! Could't tolerate the problems and have given plenty of time trying. So, after dinner on Saturday I began ..... ran the car that night. Finished it on Sunday morning and couldn't be happier. Smooth acceleration, steady idle, great power, Smoooooth! SU's are fine. I have a Weber downdraught 2 barrel but it was too weak until the second barrel opened and I know SU's. Bought them on Ebay and bought a $32.00 NAPA electric fuel pump, some linkage, and a accelerator pedal from a coupe, I was happy. Had to drill a 1" hole in the firewall for the pedal assy to go through and bolt it up. Soft plugs for the injector ports... fini.

Still have a 1800ES with FI but now I have plenty of parts and tons of experience for the next time. And if it even thinks about having a problem.... BANG... there will be a Weber on there so fast it won't know what hit him!
