Newbie question - engine interchangeability 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Alex on  Wed Apr 3 11:11 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I've never looked at one or driven one, but from the specs (and various rantings on the s'bricks list)... it doesn't seem that the carb'd engines were significantly worse than the base FI models... supposedly they had more low end torque.

FWIW K-Jetronic is the "CI" setup, CIS is the electronic crap stuck on there to "smooth" out the idle.

From what I can tell the injectors on my brick have individual metal lines leading to them versus one big metal rail with a few rubber hoses off of them. The other obvious difference is the injectors being in the block versus intake manifold.
