Edelbrock’s New Carb Is The Most High-Tech

Plus, and I am ready for the FI lovers to pile on, I have heard WAY too many stories of problems with all of the EFI units. Granted that a lot of people have had great luck with them, and swear by them, I have just seen too many complaints. Although a smooth running EFI setup on my car would be nice, to do it right costs $1800-$2000 or more, and my car runs great with a $450 Eddy carb. I am not "scared to death" of EFI, I just don't like all the bad press I have read.

It's too many stories for just us "oldheads" and operator error. There has to be some truth to some of the issues being the fault of some of the systems. There are defective products in every walk of life.

My opinion is, that's a hell of a lot of money (for me anyway) to lay out for something that may or may not work out. Although carburetors have gone up in price, they're still not as expensive as EFI, especially considering you need an entirely different type of fuel system which adds even more cost.
