[DML] Re: Converting Back to K-Jet

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That's the damndest thing: everybody is all "ooo ooo ooo" over EFI, but it's the EFI'ers who are hacking away at their wiring harnesses -- a glaring double standard.

As Jim and John have pointed out, carburetion does not require a single change to the factory wiring. I've still got all my K-Jet connectors, piled up in the corner of my engine compartment (my homage to K-Jet):

You do need a 12v switched line for the choke heater, but I usually grab that with a quick connect plugged into the Idle Speed ECU harness connector and run the wire through the tach signal grommet (unplug the quick connect and pull the wire out -- voila, back to stock). You can see my choke heater's Red wire at the bottom of the above photo.
