Re: Fw: 16v with CIS

["Chris DeLong" <green536@hotmail.com>]

<x-flowed>No offense Dave, but when I did this conversion i had no problems but where 
to put the pressure regulator and the wiring was pretty easy. Grant it, the 
car didnt start very well in the morning but the dumbass that had "no money" 
wouldnt pay to have the pressure checked and so it was hard to start in the 
morning. other than that it ran perfect after it warmed up.
