you can block off ports in the fuel distributor housingand use it on a 3 ,2 or single cylinder if you realy want to play with one
yes the v12 kjet fuel distributor was at least used on a v12 maserati iirc.I Have a 4cyl one sitting the shed attached to a volvo B23 series(iirc) 4 I'm scouting around for a 6cyl setup ... commonly fitted to PRV v6's does anyone know of a wreck in a paddock near them? id like to do some experimenting....The system was a very simple map based one, crude but kinda backtothefuture like(No to those who are thinking, the DMC Delorean uses Bosch Kjetronic-all mechanical-but still pretty interesting)which in most ways was only really built for v8's;not really adaptable to other engine configurations
and as for Ljet, luft is german for air, referring to measuring air.. with the air flap.
