To begin with, thank you for your post! I wasn't trying to knock your car with the 75 Manta F/I, just stating my position with the parts I have on hand and the cost of putting together a complete system for my needs! Gils price of $2000 for a complete running 2.2 with modern fuel injection is hard to beat! And at $45 hr. labor @12hrs that would totally take care of my needs for less than $3000.00. Besides the 75 fuel injection was one of the first mass produced Opel systems wasn't it? Once again I have an automatic trans. and can use the low end torque, not like I'm bolting a 5 speed up behind it. And maybe someone here could use my 75 fuel rail assembly for a Megassquirt build-up! So how about it, can anyone use a 75 F/I throttle body minus the electronics?
