Another "Is Fuel Injection a Worthwhile Upgrade?" Question
Did I say ALL technology was bad? You’d be surprised how far ahead of the curve I am on man things.
I guess WJ is a moron, because he said he went from Denver to Sonoma and NEVER changed a jet. A carb is a pressure differential device. It IS self adjusting unless it’s so far off it can’t compensate one way or the other enough.
In fact, if I can get a question in this week I’ll ask WJ about it and he can repeat what he wrote.
I never said that you said anything other than what you did, however your arguments are definitely slanted one way. I don't think you are dumb or stupid, you own Mopars so obviously you have something positive going on in the thought department.
Lets approach this from another angle; carbs, EFI, points, Electronic ignition, etc. are all just tools to be used to achieve one thing or another. None of them are bad, none of them are superior in all respects. Like any tool, the user has to figure out what will get the job done for him/her. I completely recognize the simplicity and functionality of carbs, points, etc. but I really like the versatility and general ease of use of new technology; doesn't mean its "all that", just means I like it.
I have met people who have no idea how to use or tune a carb which seems very odd having grown up with them and while at present I prefer EFI, I am glad I still understand how a carb works (same with points). I do not believe that "old technology" is bad in any way, in fact in some applications it is probably superior. This doesn't make it better or worse, it makes it the right tool for the job.
Anyone here who is slamming someone because of what they know (or don't know) and what their preference is (or isn't) is an idiot and narrow minded.
