But today I took the oportunity to purchase a (more less complete?)
injection system for 70 ukp.
70 Pounds? That's a good value.
my car is a 74 left hooker
What do you mean by 'hooker'. One should be careful when using such words
around us Yanks. I've called my car many things, but never a hooker.
Maybe on second thought, it's closer to the truth!
a) what else do I need apart form a high pressure pump.
petrol tank? blanking plug for mechanical pump?
different throttle linkage?
You will need a fuel filter, you can make modifications to a carb petrol
tank for the fuel return from the metering unit and the outlet pipe to the
fuel filter. I had to do this because my original tank was beyond repair.
b) what do I need to check the system for while it is out? I checked the
throttle linkage for wear but there is no play whatsoever. Can I take
the injectors apart and clean them or whatsoever and if so how, same
applies to the metering unit.
I would recommend having the metering unit checked out be a professional.
There are a few people on this list who adjust their own metering unit and
may offer you assistance in this effort.
Injectors can be checked once the engine is running.
c) I suspect that it is a 130 bhp system coming from a saloon or estate,
anything I need to change and how do I see if its this, may be part
number for the inlet manifolds?
One way to check for early (150 bhp) injections is look for the number of
rubber vacuum lines connecting the intakes. If you have only one you have
the early; later versions had two vacuum lines connecting the intakes.
Also, I believe the later metering units had a green plastic cover on top.
All else is about the same.
You should be using a dual pipe exhaust manifold or equivalent.
These were some of the major points I could think of. Other list members
who are more familiar with the PI system will most likely be offering their
assistance.
Good luck
