Used to be a big problem with the "Cobra" oilheads... (shook like the pheumatic asphalt cutters).
Problem solved by replacing the injectionsystem with Bings. Think it was the 1995-96 issues that were the worst. The company back in 1997 that specialized in these conversions was:
WITEC Motorsport
One can drive many miles using carbs on the electrical power from the battery should the alternator stop working. One will not get far at all with a fuel injection vehicle... I would -never- go on a trip through desolate contryside using fuel injection if I could replace it with carbs.
The alternator on the oilhead is a standard car-issue so it is far better than the stock airhead alternator, but still... I like to play it as safe as I can -
