[DML] Re: Fuel System Problems/Upgrade

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was pickin' at you...

Actually, biggest attraction of the B28A (other than being new on a
pallet) is ease of access. No joke -- I can have the intake manifold
off in less than 2 minutes. Don't even need to remove it to access
ignition distributor or clutch slave cylinder. Hope to have it ready
by Pigeon Forge so you can see in person. Is what PRV designers
originally intended.

Don't worry -- I'm keeping my Z7V. It's too nice not to use in some
other application, sans oil leak. European spec fuel injection really
isn't bad. Manually tuned versus onboard ECU's. Requires no special
tools (except perhaps usual pressure gauge. CO2 analyzer would be nice
too, but you can set fuel mixture by watching the spark plugs).
