| convert 76 Spyder to FI I'm thinking of converting my 76 to FI. I'm a newbe, so if this has been addressed, just send me there. I've had trouble with my idle and after several unsuccessful rebuilds, I put on a Weber from a 2.3L Mustang. It runs better, sounds way better but really hit my gas mileage. I've played with the jets but there are so many, I finally gave up. Figured FI might be the answer. Will the 2.0L FI fit the 1.8 engine and if so, is it feasible? Thanks.

| Re: convert 76 Spyder to FI You would be better off selling your carbed car and buying a FI car. To convert a carbed car to FI is a MAJOR task: wiring harness for all the sensors has to be installed ($??? if available), Air Flow meter must be installed (approx. $350-$450), ECU must be installed ($200-$400), Fuel Pump and Filter ($150-$250), Combo Relay ($80-$100), Injectors ($400-$600), Fuel Rail ($???), Replace Fuel Line ($???), Variou Sensors and Cold Start Injector ($400-$600), Throttle Body and other bits and pieces ($???), Intake Manifold ($400-$600) and a hell of a lot of labor. It's not worth it. Even if you can get a FI engine, there would be too much work required to make it run.

| Re: convert 76 Spyder to FI Thanks, George. Not what I wanted to hear but still good to know. I've had my Spyder since 77, so a replacement isn't an option. Guess I'll have to figure out how to jet that big Weber.
