Does anybody know of a source of throttle plate >assemblies for an individual throttle injection type system? If you've got access to machining facilities, how about getting a pair of old Weber DCOE or Dellorto DHLA carbs, machine off all the unnecessary stuff to just leave the front 2 inces or so:- mounting flanges, throttle plate assemblies, air bypass channels (if fitted) etc. The advantages are: cheap! and will fit any engine which has a DCOE/DHLA sidedraught manifold available, either as OE or aftermarket, that covers virtually all 4-cyl. examples! The injector mounting is a bit more tricky - the easiest route normally is to weld machined injector bosses into the manifold runners and fabricate/adapt a fuel rail structure. The throttle position sensor pot needs to be mounted off the end of one of the throttle spindles - again fairly simple stuff. I have gone through this process for a Ford 2L SOHC Pinto, got the manifold with injector bosses, cut down the carbs etc. - sadly never got the EFI finished! If anyone is interested, I could try and do some pics. I have drawings of the throttle pot mounting parts to fit Webers.
