Re: Converting B30E to B30A 160 74

ICQ>7245779

Dear Craig

I own a 1970 P1800E

the E should be hyphenated -previous owner converted to twin SU's

I am now in the process of re-converting to Fuel injection..

Your car should be using a K-jetronic system continuous fuel injection system

-quite bomb proof really.

I agree with Jean in addition you should also check the following:-

1)pressure regulator-this is a spring loaded device on the side of the fuel distributor.This device is supposed to maintain fuel line pressure at a constant level

2)Warm up regulator/control pressure

This will be bolted on to the block or manifold-it provides mixture compensation

during warm up and controls the ease with which the control plunger moves up

Checking 1)and 2) above involves the use of high pressure hose and a gauge

which is beyond the scope of most DIY owners.However I feel that the rewards

of a fully functioning fuel inj. system are well worth the effort.

good luck
