Converting B30E to B30A 160 74

ICQ>

Well, my 164E is up to its old tricks again. The warm idle speed is all over the place - at one stop sign, the tach might read 1100 RPM, at the next, 400 RPM. I've got a known-good aux air valve installed, so we can eliminate that. The intake air mainfold is securely bolted down, so I don't think it's an intermittent air leak. Hoses and clamps seem secure. The local mechanic isn't sure what the problem is, and neither am I. Memories of my old reliable 122S are still fresh, and I'm thinking I just want to get rid of the Bosch Jetronic system, and convert the B30E engine to using twin carbs, like the B30A engine. Has anybody else out there done this? What prompted you to do so? Were the results good? What's it cost? Thanks! Craig Chernos
