To properly support EFI, the electrical system needs major alteration. The original design isn't really appropriate, although people have been known to crutch it. So weigh that when considering whether carb or EFI is for you on this project.

The ones who get in trouble are the ones that think its interesting but are not up for the challenge. That's not unique to EFI projects, but as I posted in the last thread on this topic
