I am NOT against carbureation. I just think it is not a viable alternative on a Delorean. For that $300 you claim it cost to convert (I think it will turn out to be a whole lot more when you factor in the intake manifold, the carbureator, the linkage, hoses, a choke mechanism, fuel pump, etc not including labor of course) you could have spent it on getting the K-Jet going right. I have a LOT of experience with carbureators. IMHO fuel injection is FAR superior to any carbureated system for reliablity, driveability, and controlability. I have set up many cars with multiple carbureator set-ups including Jaguars and American Muscle w/ as many as 6 carbureators on 1 motor. I think you do not give the Bosch K-Jet enough credit. About the only drawback I can find is that it is NOT tolerant of any dirt. Incorrect storage and age related damage is it's biggest fault. Once properly set up and used regularly it is a very good system. Unfortunetly most people that work on the K-Jet do not understand it and can't set it up properly. It seems to be the largest source of complaints and misinformation. Most of the Deloreans I see do not run right because they are NOT set up correctly. Not the fault of the fuel injection system, just the person trying to make it work. I still see that as no reason to convert backwards to a less desriable system. This LIST gives everyone the oppertunity to learn how to make the K-Jet work correctly. I think it is a better alterantive than removing it.
