mols are fun ever wonder what one looks like? 6.022x10^23 there, like that :D
ok, anyway
im swapping in a 95 318 and going o try and keep everything stock with MPI, we will see how it goes as the summer progresses, not getting too far on it right now i have no place to work on it, and the shed isnt getting much cleaner, but im workin on it
if it pukes out or doesnt seem to do anything right ill throw a carb on it and new intake and hope that works, we will see
i hope its easier than i think it will be to do the swap i have all the electrical nightmares....

I wonder how many MPFI systems out there ever got flooded???
I mean it is a type of fuel injection and its more fuel effecent.. Also you I think 44RH might go well with your A-Body Dakota bonehead.
I agree with JayB about the Gen1 Daks but also have to say the Gen4 or D-body rivals that of the A-body's.

Joe C.? Have you ever had a bad O2 sensor or failed MAP sensor? There's your flood.
No matter how tight they wind the plumbing, some things never change.

Well one thing about a carb is when you start going up the grades off-road. Thats what seperate the differnce between the two.

Again, they were hill-climbing long before EFI came along. Granted, an OEM EFI will tolerate off-road action better than the standard-fare street-vehicle carb system, as delivered. However, even the Carter Thermoquad had a special off-road model that was aimed at just what you're talking about. And if you doubt the capability of a properly prepared carbureted system, have you ever heard of, for example, the P-51Mustang? F4U Corsair, and many others. Carbureted, and they handled maneuvers and altitudes unseen in off-road activities. 40,000ft/400 mph/9G's/30 below zero. And these were designed and built in the 1930's and 40's. I'm not trying to say carbs are the Holy Grail, but they're a lot better than most give them credit for.
