They are your standard bosch type electric injectors..

There is some adjustability in the pressure and map sensor. I want to
install a larger engine (2 Liter) with a mild street cam and some better
flowing heads. How well will the old d-jetronic handle that?  The old system
is not really (as far as I can tell) not the most accurate .. wouldnt a more
modern system be the way to go?  I just think about the old trigger contacts
rolling around in the dizzy, and then look at more modern equipment...

If you belive that the old system wil handle it ill leave it in and see
where it goes..
