Pinto EFI to carbs
 

After spending all day sosiging around with the EFI electrics
on my 2.0 Pinto, and not getting a spark, nore nuffin
I'm almost at the stage of giving up on it.

So question:
I have a Weber carb on a Pinto manifold, From my 1800.
Can I do a straight swop from the injection system to the Weber?
At least I know how to wire up the non injection system.

I havn't got time to go megajolt system,
So looking for a quick option....Stonleigh approching fast. :eek:

Hi David
There is no problem with the carb. My pinto was a injection. You can put the dizzy from the 1.8 and run it standard.

There are some cheap twin 40 webers on ebay. Take a look.:D

Has the pinto's engine loom been tampered with?

TT

Just a tad yes....:rolleyes:


I cut and shut the wires to make them fit.
Think my joints are all good, but I just cant follow a wiring diagram.
Spent all day trying to get a spark.
Trouble is, there are just sooooooo many wires from the black box.

I'm going to try again tomorrow but if I have no luck then I got to look for an easy answer.

So my main question at the moment is.
Can I just unbolt the fuel injection system and bolt on the weber?
(It's a downdraught. forget which one at the mo,)
I realise I cant use the fuel pump. is there a place to bolt on the mech one?

I've had a sherbert or to so may not make much sense at the mo ....hic.:rolleyes: ( Bad day, and fed up)

Arn't the dizzies the same 1800 and the 2.0...I've used the 1800 one coz it looked cleaner

Hi
You can put the pump from the 1.8 you will need the rod that pushes it. there is a blanking plate over the pump out-let.

Im not shore But do you think you mite need the key to go with the ECU.
My dads old sierra did.

????? key?????

The key would have had an immobiliser in it. You would need to tape it to the top of the ECU.

Nope, no special key.
or anywere to tap anything in.

But thanks for the thought

HI Dave
I did mean the ignition key. The car would have come with two black keys and one red key. The black key had an immobilizer in the top. The red key was to reset it.
