interesting design, i have a little stumble in my FI bug, i'll have to take a look at that.........does it kind of mimic a vacuum leak stumble? Mostly on throttle demand?

You sure you don't want to rename this thread The Great Damn Van Thread? sorry mate. stick to it.. you'll figure it out.
Good job. Always feels good to find the smoking gun. Ends up being something simple every time it seems. Leave it to the germans to install fuel injection but leave the points ignition set up. It had more parts than an electronic set up so it must be better, right?
Crap.....I have been nearly in your shoes with my bug..........and IMHO (which you did not ask for) I'd go with the webers.....and drive that bad boy!
Not to be a dick , but remember what I told you a while back ? Buy a set of carbs and be free of stupid problems like this . The injection parts are expensive and are getting harder to find . Either way , good luck and keep us posted . PM if you need further help .
I'm not sure how the L-Jet system could have fried yoru points. The distributor should be a mechanical with vacuum advance and the points opening and closing are controlled mechanicly by the distro. I used to eat condensers on my bus until i found a short between the condenser and the body of the distributor. Have you put a voltmeter on your ECU to ensure the thing isn't fried? Swapping to carbs usually requires yanking the gas tank and modifying it to eliminate the high pressure gas return lines.
If they have a good starting map... And some seat of the pants tuning. only about an hour dyno. Wide band O2 will help out a lot. And a good five gas analyzer ... Best thing he can do is find a guy local, who is really good with mega squirt . There is a computer geek here who has quite a few cars running around on mega.. some as high as 800 horse,.. He nails maps out of his head almost dead on...
