Plans
- I plan on converting her in steps.
- Start with modifying the intake to accept injectors (think 36 lb/h will be right)
- I will then use the carburetor as a throttle body in the beginning, just modify it to have a TPS
- Something like this guy has done but I intend to leave the carb unmolested.

- I don't think there will be any problems other than the fact that I have no IAC, this is only a temporary step, and if the fuel injection works properly I will get a good throttle body from the US containing TPS and IAC. (I will also use the Hei to run the ignition)
- Installing a new throttle body.
- Converting the ignition to CNP and ditching the Hei.
Thoughts
As a crank trigger I plan to use the hall that is in the web shop, I plan to make a trigger wheel out of aluminum and press in four magnets with 90 degrees between them, this will then be mounted on the vibration damper. The hall sender will then be placed in an aluminum adjustable holder.
As cam trigger I am still considering whether to mount a magnet in the timing chain gear or modify the distributor.
