All this talk about going BACKWARDS is quaint. Carbureation is OLD TECHNOLOGY. If anything we should be experimenting with EFI and full engine management. As advanced as K Jetronic was in it's time, it was a continuous system. The future went to pulsed injection so K-Jet is only a small step above carburaters anyway. Just about all automakers have gone to full engine management to improve driveability, reliablity, emmisions, and performance. Aside from the expense of doing it, it sounds like a winning combination. No more distributer, more tolerant of blended gas, no problems with extreme hot, cold, altitude, in short it will run like a modern car! Right now the engine has 3 black boxes to keep it running (ignition, Lambda, and idle), 4 if you include voltage regulation. 5 if you have an automatic. All that could be put into one and all functions integrated and fully adjustable. It would be a monuemental job but I am sure the right person could do it! Now THAT would be interesting, not some carburator bolted onto a manifold! Just think, you could incorporate the cooling fans (aka Fanzilla or whatever) the door locks, remote entry, the wiper delay module, the interior lighting delay, and on, and on. That electronic dashboard now would incorporate all of these signals and more. With a small plasma display you could have all kinds of messages. Now we are talking FUTURE!!!
