Well, I've got access to a 73 142 that has a mostly intact
FI system -- I have my doubts about the vacuum sensor thingy
but otherwise I think it is good (except too may of the wires
are rotted out and the car's suspension is shot and so on).
The big problem is that the car I've got is several hundred
miles from the other car, so I'll have to guess correctly
all the parts I'll need to bring with me to make the thing
work. I was going to bring with me:
Will a mechanical fuel pump work with the FI fuel filter
or will I want to bypass that as well?
SU manifold / carbs
mechanical fuel pump & gaskets & spacers
fuel hoses
FI controller
fuel pump
fuel filter
wires & tape & paint on insulator
distributor & coil
First thing is see if there is anything obvious broken, then
check the points, then swap the FI controller, then make sure
the injectors are firing, then clean the throttle contacts, then
short the block temp sensor, then give up and disconnect the
fuel pump, bypass it, install the mechanical fuel pump, and
replace the intake manifold.
Of course, I'll only do this if the car has good compression,
spark, and the valves all open (and close).
seem reasonable?
