I would recommend not using the original systems. They are quite primitive, all in all, and very difficult to tune and modify reasonably. I would consider something like SDS ( Simple Digital Systems EM-4) or one of the Megasquirt variants. The latter requires you to learn a lot about how injection works and do your own fabrication and such

Well considering the SDS costs about as much as my last car.. I'm gonna have to hold off on that. I'm guessing a primitive FI system is better than a carb, but I might end up with a spare of each of those to tinker with if I play my cards right.
Botsapper - Thanks for the overlay. I didn't realize how close those actually came together. Granted one might be stretched a little more than the other, but they still seem to fit just fine.
Arragonis - I thought they were standard by '75. My bug has the plugs for the fuel pump up front at least, but I thought it was converted back to a carb.
My '80 Fiat has a Bosch Jet-tronic FI system I think, and as far as I know only the warm-up injector fails now and then, decreasing mileage.
Right now I'm gonna try for the FI system and run it stock, just to see how much an aeromodded body would help.
