Put a new cat on it. The sniffer can't smell "Euro S 300HP".

But seeing how you've taken the plunge... that's gonna be sweeet!

Joe is fantastic at wiring and diagrams. He's got parts on the Int'l Space Station if I'm not mistaken...

My heroes! Thanks Chris.

You are going to need a flywheel with the correct timing teeth for the injection. That flywheel is a single disc late one which is too big to fit in your early bellhousing. If you wish to use double discs you need a custom 85-86 small diameter flywheel with the toothed ring off an 87 > automatic flywheel indexed and welded into place.

Thanks Colin. I will find out whether or not he has located one on Friday when I go out there.

Maybe MS would be the way to go.
