<VV> Old EFI system on a Corvair

[jvhroberts at aol.com]

 L Jetronic is most definitely electronic! As is D Jetronic. K Jetronic is the one with the fuel distributor, the plate in the venturi, and the constant flow injectors. It's also called CIS. K Jetronic has an electric fuel pump, etc, and that system is basically mechanical.  Later versions had electronic trim capability for the O2 sensor, and obviously, the whole thing was ended for the better control of computers.

>The Fiero conversion that Craig Nicol did, OTOH, is a much better match, the GM 
2.8 V-s has a very similar power curve to a Corvair, the cam profile is very 
close to the same, and so is the bore/stroke ratio.

Yeah, and Craig's rig is nice, but ... ... the L Jetronic is 
non-electronic, and the Fiero is computer controlled -- Luddites Unite! 
-- Tim, didn't some of the first Volvo injection systems use the L 
Jetronic, too, or something similar (non-electronic, but 4 cylinder)? 
Dad had horrible troubles with one, iirc.
