As much as I appreciate my '82 K-jet car, I'm a little concerned about parts for it becoming more and more scarce. Once and a while I come across a K-jet car in the boneyard. I don't want to stock-up on parts I don't need yet, but at the same time rising scrap prices are sending boneyard cars to be crushed and shipped to China and elsewhere more quickly now. Any opinions about whether it's a good idea to rescue some K-jet fuel injection parts from the boneyard? Are there other sources? Are used parts likely to survive on the shelf a while?

Thanks for any and all opinions in advance!

I have a couple of Canadian style fuel distributors and auxiliary air valves. The FD's have injectors and hoses with them, but are the type that do not use the frequency valve and O2 sensors. Write me at www.sucarburetors.com if you are interested in them.

Hi,


You might consider an electronic injection conversion, but I know how nice the CIS system feathers.
The LH-Jetronic is superior in many ways, but it lacks the infinite precision of the moving plate.

I'd get a spare fuel distributor.
