Just wondering what other mechanical FI systems that ever existed on production vehicles besides the Rochester system that was used in the late 50s and early 60s on GM vehicles?
History question - mechanical FI - what others besides Rochester?
- Thread starter Brons2
- Start date
I believe Bosch had one.

Who made the mechanical FI that Messerschmitt aircraft used in WW2? Was that Bosch, other 3rd party, or in-house?
I would assume Magneti Marelli did at some point.
Lucas, Kugelfischer (later Bosch), Bosch as mentioned, SPICA are some that have given me headaches over the years...
Carter made a lot of the diesel tractor mechanical fuel pumps
My favorite! CIS and CIS-E are near and dear to my heart.

I had a 1977 VW Rabbit that had mechanical FI. It was far superior the carbureted versions of the Rabbits I owned previously.
Yes K Jet. In my old 1985 Volvo 245Ti.
It worked. Most of the time. I mean it was reliable, but tuning not for faint of heart (no real need to mess with it, keep it clean)
Interestingly it had one electric injector for starting.

The cold start injector, controlled by the thermo time switch.
The mixture was adjusted by way of a 1.5mm (IIRC) allen key about a foot long that controlled the relationship between the metering block and the air valve.
that 77 Rabbit was CIS (K-Jet) too and probably had a rudimentary mixture adjustment via O2 sensor (CIS-E)
I found this interesting. AMC was the first electronic FI.

Didn’t Bendix and GM collaborate on an
MFI system?
