Hi all,
Last winter I had to replace the timing belt, oil, etc. As I already had an Beta HPE ie engine block in the car, I decided to complete the conversion and add the injection system and make it how the Montecarlo S2 should have been from new. Are there any other Montecarlos known with this conversion? I do know of an imported injected Scorpion in the Netherlands.
If you are looking for more performance, this is of course not the preferred way to go, but drivability (compared to an old worn carb) is great. The car becomes instantly a modern drive. The automatic choke issues are completely gone, it idles much better, and power is available immediately.
