1973 Campmobile HELP
Hi All !
I just got a 1973 Campmobile...WHAT A MESS!!!! It has a 2.0 GE series (1977 l-jetronic?) engine that has been reto fitted with center mount carb kit 26/27mm or some nonsense. I get 10 mpg and have no power at all. I dunno, should I round up all the FI stuff to bring it back to original or go with a redline fuel pump and a fuel regulator to support dual carbs? Cosmetically the van is fair. I do need a drivers side vent wing assembly. It seems that there was a break in at some point and the entire wing and frame is destroyed, a couple deep pru marks remain in the door but its nor bent or distorted. PLEASE someone help me a get wind wing!!!!! Also it is missing the engine deck cusion/bed part. The rear bench is fine. I will have to make up one, does anyone have the dimensions or instruction to make a good copy? Any help or coments are welcome. If you have parts/ideas/ a used stove-fridge box with lp tank for me please email me directly or post a message here. Thanks Tom Matous |

Maybe you can use the stock inyectors and driver them with a Megasquirt box. -- Eduardo K. | http://www.carfun.cl | "World domination, now" http://e.nn.cl | Linus Torvalds |

Is the center mount carb a Weber?
If so, IMOP, it is all you need. Poor mileage and power could also result from poor timing. I just did a lot of reading on the forums at http://www.thesamba.com about timing. Many late modlel bus owners complaining about poor mileage and power. I am currenly having timing problems myslef and have distributor problems. And I am getting about 15 mpg and poor power curve. And I have a new 2L There are some real good experts with our bus years, over at the samba. Plenty of parts too. Do check it out. --Steve 74 Westie, NJ > wrote in message oups.com... > Hi All ! > > I just got a 1973 Campmobile...WHAT A MESS!!!! > > It has a 2.0 GE series (1977 l-jetronic?) engine that has been reto > fitted with center mount carb kit 26/27mm or some nonsense.

I just bought a replacement engine with the dual carbs its OEM used and
not tinkered with at all. I want to rebuild this one instead of sorting out the 2.0 engine. its stock and looks like it has all the tin and stuff also its from a 73 like mine. |
