That same Bosch fuel injection system was used by Volvo in the early 70's. When a friends Volvo 164 insisted on running lean, I connected both temperature sensor wires to a dual potentiometer (two pots, one knob) on the dash. He loved it, he could dial the mixture rich enough to start instantly on the coldest day, then lean it out to get better mileage than he had ever seen.
