While the engine was replaced -- which carb is on the engine?
The one from the previous engine, or the one which was on the
replacement engine when its car was rear-ended?
CARB?? What the heck is a CARB.
For you youngsters out there , a carb is an analog device for mixing fuel
and air in approximately the proper proportions to burn efficiently .
I'm an old coot too - so I know what a CARB is (and as a mechanic
worked on hundreds (likely thousands) of them.) but obviously someone
wasn't reading the post very well. Carbs were long gone when the
subject vehicle was produced.
Guilty as charged. I haven't worked on engines much for years,
so I don't know when the switchover happened -- especially for domestic
vehicles. The BMW 2002 had a carb. My Mazda GLCs had a carb. The Mazda
B2600 I think had fuel injection, but I'm not sure. I do know that it
had a real timing chain (like my MGAs had) instead of one of the belts
which fail in some cars at awkward times -- or even slip without
failing, doing nasty things to the timing. :-) The Mazda Navajo
(actually a Ford Explorer) has fuel injection and a weird ignition
system. I'm not sure what my Nissan Cube has, but I like it. Lots of
inside space and headroom, without taking too much outside space. :-)
Enjoy,
DoN.

Wrong, again DoN.
Not all BMW 2002 had carbs:

"The high-performance model was the tii, which was produced for the 1972-1974 model years. Visually, it was identical to a standard 2002, with the same engine and gearbox, but instead of a Solex carburetor, it was equipped with Kugelfischer mechanical fuel injection, which helped increase its horsepower rating to 125 from an even 100 for the standard model.
