    Is this car mfi.?

    Hello. Newbie question here. I found a 73 t thst is a few hours from my seller has only owned it for a short time and thinks it has carbs, I thought that the 73 Ts had MFI. Can you tell from this picture, I guess I don’t know what too look for and the only other cars I looked at had Weber’s

    Thanks in advance !!

    Interesting to see what looks like a P233b fuel pressure gauge on it. Usually just for diag.

    Translation:
    Potentially a factory A/C car as indicated by the ignition coil mounting bracket that creates space for the deck mounted components

    I wouldn't be worried about the "missing" relay. I be really afraid of the owner/flipper, though.

    Regards

    The other giveaway is the washer reservoir up by the smugglers box (but you had to check ebay for that picture)

    My suggestion: since you (and the Seller) don't seem to know the difference between Carbs and MFI, you should do more research and learn more about these cars before making a decision about buying an old Porsche. Knowing what you are looking at can save you a lot of money and disappointment. Once you know what you are looking at, and have found a good one, you will be in for a treat.
