So im swapping 1.6 carb to 1.8 k-jetronic. I have all the electrics from the k-jet car + engine, trans, fuel pump etc. So the question is do i really need to swap the fuel tank as i have read that there is difference in carburettor fuel tank vs fuel injection tank.. And where does the k-jet fuel pump combination mount? I have been searching a lot and learning everything about k-jet i can find. The fuel tank/fuel lines seems really complicated looking on haynes book. So much valves/breather lines..
Thanks!

Do you have the wiring going from the fuel pump relay to the pump itself ?

I swapped the full engine and dash looms over by unplugging form the rear of the fuse box as I wanted working MFA too. Then is was a case of fitting engine and box, driveshafts etc. I did have to cut out the offside engine mount flip it over and weld it back on the chassis leg. I also uprated the brakes too as I was still on solid discs.
Good luck with the swap.

if you want to use the carb tank and/or its a late car what you need is post-84 kjet fuel setup which has a lifter pump in the tank, a plastic swirl pot under the car and a smaller fuel accumulator which is relocated nearer the fuel tank to make space for the pot. plus all the relevant pipes and brackets

And the differenses i see is that mine doesnt have that one connector at the bottom and the tank for kjet has. So it doesnt work if i connect the hoses at the top of the tank where goes pipe to bottom of tank..?

thats a mk2 gofl fuel setup, you will struggle to get that to fit, unless its a caddy!
One more question. Why is it hard to fit? You mean because of the space?
