D-Jet to K-Jet conversion 140-160

posted by  someone claiming to be cdu on  Sun Apr 25 07:45 CST 2004 [RELATED]


Okay -- I've been paralyzed indecision. I've got rotting at a
friend's house a 73 142 with nearly no rust (a little around the
back windscreen) and almost all the original paint. A year or so
ago I found a perfect condition interior from a 142 and put that
into the hulk. It turns out that even though the car has 380,000
miles the carpets are in perfect condition as well. The only real
problems with the car are a totally wallered out suspension, no
fuel pump, and a totally messed up injection system.

So there is this thread in the 120 section about installing D
or K jet in a 122. It got me to thinking that it may be simpler
to just install K-jet on this car. I've already got much of what
I'd need though not everything. I'm sure with a couple months of
junkyarding I'd be able to find a complete setup. I've also been
thinking of installing SUs on it as well, though that seems to be
a real shame.

I actually really dislike the D-jet design and find the K-jet
to be a more elegant setup. Ideally I'd rip everything out and
install megasquirt but I'm not there yet.

Any suggestions? Any gotchas about installing K-jet on a 73?
