swapping MFI to Carbs?

[69911s]

I am putting a set of carbs on a 2.4 that was mfi anyone have any advice or what to watchout for?

Whiplash. Just kidding.
Why are you going to carbs, I thought a good MFI system is just as good if not better.

I am going to carbs as well, but I am going from CIS to carbs.
There are a lot of guys on here that know a lot about carbs. I am sure they will respond.
Good luck.

My advice is to keep your MFI, or get it if you don't have it. Your '69S is a valuable car, but less so without the MFI. There are mountains of resources available for MFI, both here and on the S Registry board. We will be glad to help!

MFI is rock solid. We have a 69E that we revived from the dead and turned into a race car and the injection has been problem free and I wouldnt dream of pulling it from my 72S. The throttle response is just amazing. A friend has a 69S with a carbed 2,7 that he is always having to tinker with. I will say this, I used to have A 79 Turbo and if I could have I would have ditched the CIS for carbs.

I'm relatively young but why did so many people pull their MFI in favor of going go webers?

i am actually rebuilding my 69s 2.0 and have a 2.4 that had MFI but does not have it on it now so i figured i would get a set of webers to put on it until my other engine is ready. i would try to find a MFI for it but have not seen any for sale complete and/or are very $$ and not sure if they are any good and from what i understand are expensive to redo.

I'd find a way to stay MFI, especially since you have an "S". I just saw a 72 MFI 2.4 "S" engine on SF Bay craigs list for $9K.

The MFI is so cool, you won't be sorry.

I have two MFI 2.4 engines, the original to the car ( 73 Coupe ) engine is almost complete on a total rebuild to "E" spec.

The other engine is currently in my car and is awsome, it's also a "T" that I bought while doing the original rebuild. I'm selling it now ( trying too, anyway ) $3,500.

Gus @ Pacific injection rebuilt my original pump to "E" for $1,400 and Matt Blast @ Eurometrix rebuilt my throttle bodies to "E" spec for $1,200.

My vote - MFI

73 911 T MFI Aubergine Coupe
73 914 FI 2.0 Yellow
74 Alfa GTV Resto on going

Try the Early 911S Registry classifieds. They pop up pretty often there.

put on some Zeniths until you find and rebuild or modify MFI -- that is the cheap temporary solution

Zeniths are like the '74 911 -- under-appreciated and hence cheap
