I've got a '73 camper with a blown motor, and a donor 1800 engine from a '76. I've been counseled to keep the fuel injection on the 1800 and do the necessary modifications to my camper body to fit FI, but I'm having a hard time finding much information on what those mods might be... has anyone done this before? I'd be happy getting everything in and connected, then taking it to a mechanic for tuning, etc.
One thing I've been told to do before I install the new engine is to go through the firewall and install a fuel return into the gas tank (into one of the breather tubes). I've done some mucking around with biodiesel setups and when I've needed return lines in those situations, we put them into the fuel send line, instead of going all the way back to the tank. Is there a reason *not* to install the new fuel return line into the fuel send? it's all going into the same loop - right?
Anyway - any pointers to information on this conversion - or any vehement urgings to just go with the nice 2 barrel weber that's on the blown motor - would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks! Elijah Smith
