Another "Is Fuel Injection a Worthwhile Upgrade?" Question

In 2018, we trekked route 66 in our '77 Ramcharger. We took the "old route/original" 66 as much as possible. Single highways, in no-mans land. We passed through 9 states on that trip, coming back up through Dodge City, KS. In 2019 it took us up through the U.P. of Michigan, all the way to Drummond Island. Our '77 Van we just bought a few months back has already been in 5 states. Reliability is HUGE on my list.

I bet that was a big load of fun. Yeah I'm all about reliable too. In all the time I've been driving her, Vixen has let us down once. The 3-4 shift rod fell off because some dumbass didn't bend the cotter pin enough. I wonder who that was? We were in Gray when it happened and I only had 1st and reverse. So I stopped in a parking lot and crawled under and put her in second and drove home in second gear. ....but it really wasn't her fault, was it? lol
