Stay with a carburetor or go EFI

I have an A/F meter which if you squint hard enough is kind of EFI lite.

I dont need to have to have a graphical representation but its nice.

And sorry, $600 for a “built” carb? Eh, not really. Probably a LOT more.

Again, this is more about adding complexity and cost to a half-done project and whether its worth doing now or down the road.

There’s a strong argument for keeping the carb - I don’t need to buy anything and would ‘t have to undo some of the work I’ve done to get the car where it is now. But its been a number of years since I started on it and things have changed both in my own life and in the aftermarket world of go-fast trinkets.

Do I stay the course with the old school stuff or make a left turn at Albuquerque and embrace the new technology?


I was saying you can’t spend 600 bucks on a carb and expect it to perform unless you are willing to really tune on it.

1500 bucks and up is probably a good starting point for carb prices, depending on boosters and the tune up.
