Thanks for the message Dave. I really don't care to do original FI. When I see the prices of the parts for OE stuff, I'd rather go with off the shelf components. Even those are priced bad enough. <COUGH>
I've been seeing all this return line stuff, but I found a diagram (might be CB's website but not sure) where you use the VW fuel pump (non-submersible) and you use a TEE at the bottom of the fuel line from the tank so you basically are just recirculating the fuel to the pump and back up under the tank. As the pressure drops in the line, then more fuel will enter from the tank. I also saw a fuel pressure regulator being used in order to maintain the pressure on the output side of the pump and the extra fuel was then fed back to the TEE. This way you didn't have to add a 2nd spigot to the tank and get into more welding, soldering, or brazing on the tank. I'm glad to hear it works nice. I know fear of the unknown keeps a lot of people from trying FI and it's kind of been my case, but once I learn it, (found some great diagrams that spells it all out), I figure I can teach more people how to do it. I'd love to find a 1.6L FI engine on an American made vehicle and pull all the stuff off. I think that would make a great start. So far all I can find is a 1985 Ford Escort with the 1.6L FI engine and I'm assuming it is electronic. Also, I've seen this EDIS stuff and how it gives more control over the spark. I'm not really interested in it because I've found the SVDA dizzy with an accufire module in it is just the cat's meow. It does everything I want. The stock accufire won't fit but if you trim off the bottom of the rotor, it will fit and works just fine. (I'm a cheap old buzzard you know.)
