[DML] Re: Contemplating a Carb Swap

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Had I known you were contemplating a conversion I would made sure you test drove my car at DCS'12.

There are 24 months before DCS'12 -- surely we can meet up somewhere for a test drive before then.

I've never been to Dave and Julee's house in Illinois....

What happened is that I've owned a DeLorean since 2006.  In that 6-year period, I've learned a lot about the cars.  The K-Jet system, however, I see only in use on the DeLorean.  If I work on a Ford, I'll see the Motocraft carb; which is not dissimilar to the ones used by GM or Chrysler on the vehicles I service for a living.  For me, it's only natural to make this swap.  EFI doesn't appeal to me because I have no need to learn it and it makes my car immensely difficult to repair on the fly; my main reason for a carb swap.

What it boils down to is familiarity.  I want the system I'm most familiar with to be the one on the car; that happens to be a carb.
