Something that might be of interest: we've got a 1972 BMW 2002 with a slightly modified engine (it hasn't been on the road in the ten years or so that I've owned it) that we're converting to a 'stealth' Simple Digital Systems EFI system, with two gutted Weber DCOEs with SDS injector bungs welded onto their undersides acting as throttle bodies. SDS is a local Calgary outfit that started out with the automotive market but has primarily moved into aircraft engine conversions.
I can't remember if I've maybe mentioned this in a past post, but we'll hopefully have the system (and the car) ready to go by May. The intention is to have it EFI, but such that a casual observer opening the hood will just see an early 70s hot rodded BMW with dual sidedraft Webers.
Prototyping is a son-of-a-gun (euphemism here!) as, with what I've learned thus far, I wouldn't stick the injectors upstream of the butterflies but would install them on spacers between the manifold and the side-draft carb. As is, I've butchered a couple of DCOE bodies that I won't be able to reclaim if we give up on this approach. But if you're as dumb as I am....
I think it would be worth considering going to an EFI system with the injector bosses installed onto the underside of 1 inch (may be necessary to buy 2 inch thick spacers and have them machined own) spacers between the manifold and the Mikuni/Weber/whatever side drafts. Such a conversion would not be inexpensive, and it would conceivably make more sense to check into the Patton Machine carb/EFI adaptors or the EFI throttle bodies modelled on the DCOE aesthetic.
We do have an air/fuel gauge that we'll be mounting permanently on the 2002 through a bung in the exhaust header, but will also be trying to use to tune a pair of down-draft Kadrons on our dune buggy, with bungs mounted on 3 of the 4 collector pipes on the exhaust system, and rotating the muffler assembly around so we can check each cylinder. And, yes, I don't really know I'm doing but will be presumably more knowledgeable and frustrated in a couple of months after the snow is gone.
Good fortune to all of us on this tuning thing; I asked about a probe we could use for the Healey earlier in this thread as the carbs really need to be looked at and blessed, and any useful tools would sure be useful!
