Your need to change the head and inlet, and your have to change it to dizzy setup using all the stuff from a 1.4 sr, coil, mini loom, ign modual and dizzy.

Thats about it iirc

You would need the 1.2 loom, all the above is just about doing the 1.4 mpi to carb conversion on the engine.

The car will need to go back to 1.2 carb spec

Might have the TPS in the garage. Have a MAP sensor and ECU also.

Don't have the fuel reg as it's part of the fuel rail IIRC.

Ok, I have the throttle switch. Got lots of butchered loom so almost certainly have the plug for it too.

lol a carb that is only 'good' at certain points vs EFI that gets it pretty much spot on at many points... hmm
