CIS gurus, please advise (tech)...

[raveracer77 at yahoo.ca (raveracer77)]

    This might sound Blasphemous to some and to myself also but this motor is Digifant 2 and I don't understand the EFI so I'm planning to convert to Carbs when I put in the 16V instead of dealing with the CIS.  I'll megasquirt once I'm ready to go turbo... if I ever get that far.  Again if I weren't me I'd brutally beat myself to death for considering it but whoever did the swap made a mass of electrical spiderwebs under the hood and it's scary.  I fully intend to beat him if I ever find out who did this.

  That only leaves one thing. With the high price of gas, you refuse to 
  put any in the tank.

  (Me, I now fill up at half tank so I don't feel so bad about the price.)
