[T3] Old Type IIIs

[Keith Park]

Here comes the Angry mob! ;-)

320K on mine and maybe a couple minor FI issues over the years,  Why?  There
is simply very little to go wrong..  If someone has butchered up your
harness or installed the wrong parts then yea, your going to have problems
but if its properly assembled and treated correctly its bulletproof.

Carburators are a giant leap back in technology, and there are so many
little things that can go wrong with them.

Besides... you'll never be able to get your car to start on the first
compression stroke at any outside temperature with Carbs but with a good FI
system... perfect starts every time without touching the accelerator!

Back in the 70's when carbs were still prevalent there wasn't a month that
Dad didn't have the hood up on one of the cars to mess with the carburetor,
and it needed adjustment changes from winter to summer.... none of this with
FI.

    I will be ridiculed, as always, for saying this, but I still  
stand by it; my type III has been a daily driver for 7 years; if it's  
not running, my family is minus a car. It is used to ferry the kids  
around, has had to go on long trips, etc. Since I have owned it, I  
have known a FEW other people that used them as REAL daily drivers,  
with one friend basically using his as a work truck on unpaved  
mountain backroads, logging 1,000 miles a week or more. Everybody  
I've known that REALLY depended on a type III for serious dependable  
transportation would tell you what I'm about to tell you, and it's  
very simple: Throw the fuel injection system in the trash and put  
carburetors on it.
