Mike, correct about the solenoid sides. Also, D has one wire to the solenoid, while J has two (one of which just jumpers to ground).

I seem to have had a spell of ISAS (intake system acquisition syndrome).

The obstacle (er, one obstacle I know of so far) using DCOEs as throttle bodies is how to hook up a throttle position switch. Could be operated by the linkage rather than sit right on a throttle shaft, I'm thinking...

The appeal is that I could use the long, port-matched manifolds already on the car and most of the existing linkage, rather than rework everything for the D-jet manifold. Then I could sell off the good DCOEs and recoup a substantial part of the price of the rest of the project.

Then Marsha could finally drive her car without my having to do all the cold starting and warming up for her.

Then I should build a better motor for it than an old B20E out of a junker.

And then I should put throttle bodies on the MPPE and sell off the DCO/SPs.

And then... and then...
