Hi.  New to the list and currently shopping for a car.  I did not do an
installation as suggested above but am considering for purchase a 74 GTV
that has an 80s spider Bosch injected motor installed.  It not surprisingly
seems to fit fine and passes CA emissions which is a benefit of a newer
Spider motor.  If I get serious about the car, I will ask to have a
pre-purchase inspection including compression tests done as I understand the
Bosch injection to be harder on the valves and valve seats since it is much
leaner than the other usual set ups.  I see no reason it wouldn't work in a
Berlina if it works in a 74 GTV.
