I need schooling - old vs. new engines

Nothing wrong with simplicity of pre-efi engines if that is your thing. Just please don't preach that efi is junk. It's simply not your thing.

I wonder if guys in the 1932 were complaining about Ford taking the ignition advance off the steering wheel. I can see the butt hurt now... "all these fancy new cars adjust timing automatically. I can do it better myself"..... LMAO!

Agree totally racerjoe!

I too love the simplicity of the older cars but, I find the new technology facinating. You just can't argue with the impact technology has had on the automotive industry . More power, better fuel economy and more reliable. Whats not to like?

I'm hanging my hat on technology to save us from losing our ICE vehicles to electric by coming up with a solution to make gasoline engines even more fuel savy. Gas engines are about 35% efficient. Imagine if that could be increased to 50 or 60%?
It would go a long way to extending the production of ICE vehicles. I'm also of the belief that oil will be around for a long time yet.

Do you really expect the Arab nations , the top oil based economies in the world to dry up and blow away ? Too much money involved and they control too much of the world's wealth .
