    I've figured out my fuel pump carrier, I now need to learn bout what u boys do for ignition?

    Doesn't the stock distributor work off a ignition box somewhere? When u delete the engines EEC does that screw up the distributor?

    Oops! Sorry, I didn't see this until just now. Here you go:

    Note: I still use the band clamp for the fuel pump boot, even though I forgot about it for the picture.

    Now to your more recent post...

    To my knowledge, no one who has carbed their DeLorean has deleted the strock ignition module, for the reason you just stated.

    Bill Robertson has modified one of his DeLoreans to run a Duraspark ignition module instead of the stock Bosch one, but I don't have any details as to how he did it, or if he noted any gains in performance. Sorry!

    Carbed Delorean Horsepower?

    Can anyone confirm the horsepower difference between a Delorean running a carb vs a stock K-jet? Of course this assumes a properly adjusted carb and an a properly functioning K-jet system both with a stock exhaust system to compare apples to apples.

    By the way, is anyone with a carbed D running a Stage 1 style exhaust sytems?

    Thanks,

    Andrew

    While I can't objectively confirm anything with proofs, I can tell you that after having ridden in Bill's car at DCS, it was definitely faster / more powerful than a completely stock car, such as mine. Bill attributes this to a number of his modifications working together to accomplish such results, including his spec .01 exhaust, his HEI, obviously his method of fuel delivery, etc.
