[DMCForum] Re: My speech-impeded DeLorean

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There are other methods of metering that use engine VACUUM rather than
forced pressure to vaporize the fuel...

I've been considering modifying one of my K Jetronic manifolds to
accept a carb. Want to be my Beta test platform?

Until then, my old (2 years/10,000 miles) high pressure pump is lying
dormant. Contact me off Forum to discuss borrowing it. I'll even throw
in a can of tuna fish for trouble free tank baffling.

Battery ground wire doesn't go through the coil box. Goes straight
from the battery to a frame bolt by passenger TAB.
