So no doubt it's a CSI not a CS? I'm not second-guessing you... I just want to be sure before I spend moonbeams on it

I'd love to but that's the best pic I have and we're locked down here and I can't get to the car for probably another 6 weeks or so...Well- give us a flash pic in focus of that area and a pic of the passenger inner fender!
Yikes - asking a Kiwi to beg an Aussie... that's fightin' talkI have 4 LHD csi’s in the shop- no RHD…
Think you will have to beg an Aussie for some help!
Ok, do any of these help?I have 4 LHD csi’s in the shop- no RHD…

In my experience on this site the sale of complete D-jet systems is rare, unfortunately. But keep looking here. D-jet was used on MB, Volvo, Saab, Citroen, VW, Porsche (914) and a few others in the late 60s through early 70s. You should check out and join jetronic.org (in Germany), Volker is an expert on D-jet and he might be able to help finding a D-jet system in Europe somewhere. Also, a weakness with D-jet is the availability of certain parts including trigger points, Manifold Air Pressure sensors and fuel pressure regulators which are very hard to replace. Replacement Injectors are available from Standard Motor Products (FJ 118) through Rock Auto and elsewhere. I just recently spent more than $1000 tracking down a problem with my D-jet by replacing components that turned out to be OK...my problem was solved by borrowing a MAP from a friend (20 miles away) which proved that the MAP I had rebuilt was incorrectly adjusted, a fact which escaped my brain at the outset. Anyway, good luck...you might also want to consider L-jet for which parts seem to be much more plentiful.
I would opt for a 123 Ignition csi distributor if you go down that path...depends how "original" you want to be I guess.
Bill ànd others--is the FJ 118 injector a proven and suitable replacement for original D-Jet injectors? I have a '72 CSI and I was looking to purchase the SMP injectors referenced above but wanted to check first before taking the plunge. Thanks.
To benefit my ignorance, could you please elaborate the reasoning for this? Thanks.
