I've been doing a little playing but definately a future project, still doing a lot of learning. But basically a modified standard type 3 FI system.

Looks like you are using later bosch injectors with the old pintle caps from the originals? I love the injector "cradles". Did you make them?
I think I'll also use the original intake runners for now too and a set of 4 cyl magna injectors fed from CB fuel rails...pic of where i am at:
Anyway gotta get this dizzy soon or I'll be forced to run std ignition and just let MS2 control fuel...aiming for a start next week if all goes well.
Even then it's a temporary solution...36-1 DIS controlled by MS2 and a coil on plug jobbie would be sweet don't u reckon? Still thinking of adding the trigger wheel on to the cooling fan....there must be a way!
PS The part #'s for the dizzy would be American wouldn't they? Same parts as here?

Yes the injectors are modified Ford EB with the VW pintle covers so the fit and seal in the manifold. 185cc which is a little large but they are the same capacity as the late FI and Mexi beetle injectors. I did make the injector cradles as the EB injector are about 4mm shorter making the vw ones unusable. The cradle is a bit thin at 6 mm but it was only a trial with what I had on hand, 10-12 mm should do it next time.
