[DMCForum] Re: Carbureting DeLoreans (Fuel Distribution)

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Are you kidding? I may have the only PRV with 100% identical mixture
in each cylinder -- because I have one central point of fuel metering
rather than six individual ones. How many owners play musical
injectors trying to even out fuel delivery?

My manifold is a Douvrin design: Volvo A series. Predates fuel
injection. Remained in use (in Canada and Australia at least) until
'82 or '83. I'm not worried about it.

Renault produced two multi carb PRV's:
- 2 barrel/1 barrel in standard consumer trim

- 6 pack (three 2 barrels) in performance Alpines (this pic is
actually a Ferrari replica)

I'm perfectly happy with my current setup. Performance to spare, and
maintenance is SOOO easy. Don't hold your breath for me to re-inject
the thing.
