[DML] Re: Subject: Carbureted PRV

[Dmc3360@xxxxxxx]

There was a DeLorean Mid Atlantic member in PA who did install a carburetor 
on his DeLorean.  His name was Charles Muffley.  Charles passed away some years 
back and he enjoyed modifying his DeLorean and trying new things like 
installing a carburetor.  In fact it is the Charles Muffley Award that the DeLorean 
Mid Atlantic Club presents at each of Ken's shows in honor of Charles, to the 
most uniquely modified DeLorean in attendance.  Previous winners were Curtis 
and his incredible customized DeLorean in Cleveland, and Rich for his D Rex, 
hovercraft, and convertible in Memphis.  At any rate I did not have the privilege 
of knowing Charles as well as some other members but I believe our past 
president Aldo Buono or some of our other long time members could better tell of 
Charles, and his installing a carburetor on his DeLorean.

Subject: Carbureted PRV

Has anyone switched their fuel injected PRV to a carbureted PRV?

Does anyone know of the cost of a crate Carbureted version PRV engine? 
preferably the Vovlo B-28A version?

>From what I can tell through the DMCNews archives and some volvo engine 
searches is that the PRV B-27 (which had a carburetor) was installed on Volvo 260's 
from 1976 to 1978, and the engine had problems.  But in 1979 or maybe it was 
1980 (conflicting information from different websites) it appears they issued 
the B-28A PRV (carbureted as well), which solved the problems of the B-27.  
Just after that, the B-28F (fuel injected version, one used on Delorean) became 
standard.  

And yes, I'm aware of how superior the fuel injection is and how I'd be 
unable to smog it here in California.  Still, I'd be very interested in learning 
how difficult and costly the swap would be, and am hoping maybe someone has 
already done it.

Thanks,
