K-jetronic is ALL the purely mechanically metered injection family, not just the lambda-equipped ones.

One option would be to try a Volvo dealer. The mechanics used to work on Volvos that had K-Jet and some of the older techs will remember how and have the tools. While it is true that at the time Deloreans had mechanical fuel injection and most other cars did not, many imported cars did and so did some Corvettes. Even Jetronics did not last all that much longer, eventually morphing into Motronics which is a more electronically controlled engine system. Your point is well taken, as technology is obsoleted it becomes harder and harder to maintain and service it. That is true in all cases. How many people are left in the world that can adjust the doors on a Delorean and are experienced at it and can do it well?
