Re: [DMCForum] Carbureted PRV



I put a photo of a Carb that was put on a DMC in the
PHOTOS section of the group web page.

This link MAY work:

b+from+DMC.jpg> &.src=gr&.dnm=Carb+from+DMC.jpg

Anyway, (if I remember correctly) this was done by
Charles Muffley.  The name may be familiar to some,
because the guy died a few years back and the DeLorean
midatlantic club now gives out a "Charles Muffley
Award" to people who do technical modifications like
this.  Rich (Of T-REX fame) won it last year, and
there was no "run" this year so I dont think any award
was given.

>From the photo, you can see that the carb was added at
the "elbow" ports.  I have never seen it on the car,
so dont know for sure if it cleared the water pump
pulley and the engine cover.

If you serious about getting rid of the FI to go with
a carb, look in to some of the older PRV powered cars
that came with them.  The Peugot 504 comes to mind
(74-77).

However, I might as well put my 2 dollars in.  This is
a step backward!  If your looking to simplify and
"upgrade" your fuel system, install EFI.  There are
plenty of aftermarket EFI systems that will fit nicley
on the PRV.  You could also build one youself
(MegaSquirt).  Heck, while your at it go for
electronic ignition too!!

Jim (on the DML) did this to his DMC a few years back
using a SDS system.  (See
http://www.sdsefi.com/features/nov01del.htm)  He later
built his own custom intake and got rid of the
restrictive stock DMC intake.  There are some photos
of it floating around or you could ask Jim about it
yourself.
