Subject:Re: EFI to Carbs

IF you do an archive search on my name (or search the subject "FI to
Carbs") you can read my experience and the thread that went along
with it. http://gerry.vanagon.con/archives/vanagon.html

An up date. I have a 2 barrel progressive carb and after this
weekend's trip I will have run 5 tanks of gas through it and I will
post a message to the list re my average fuel consumption.  I can
tell you now that it runs very well, and is VERY simple amd I agree
that 90% of the list discussion becomes irrelevant.

One problem that was not discussed in today's thread, is a warning
about state emissions tests.  If you live in a state with emissions
tests, you will probably fail the tests with Carbs.

In a few weeks I'll talk with the mechanic (PO) who did the
conversion and I'll get back to every one.  If you have specific
quesitons, maybe I can help.
