Roy Szarafinski has successfully installed an run FI on his Corvair, but has yet the fly the Zenith 701 that it's attached to. Ray Sedman sells such a kit for Corvairs, (see http://www.american-pi.com/corvair/corvhome.html ), and I'm sure others do as well. I was originally going to use CIS injection from a Mercedes or BMW on mine, but size, weight, and the number of components was daunting compared to a simple carb installation. Carburetors do work just fine, and I wouldn't think you're going to get much better fuel economy than the 42 mpg at 160 mph that I'm getting now... Mark Langford ML at N56ML.com website www.n56ml.com
