ernie , efi is really great tuning and everything, but i think initially running a carb on a motor is cool, you can sort the driving bugs out of the system and learn what the car is all about, then if you want you can make the switch over, and in a non emissions application there are only about ten wires needed to make the car start and run. six wires or maybe less in a l6 motor. personally, i dont think v8s look right with efi, and if i were ever to do another v8car of any kind, best believe youre gonna see at least one carb sitting on top of the motor, a running rich the whole board can rag on me all they want, nothing say boss hog muscle machine like a carb to me, its flambosting and its quite sambostic to hear the song of big cubic inches, lumpy idles of death, and wot through a double pumper. unless you run a turbo v8, like some people always TALK about, then efi is very proper IMHO. in short, i think fi is very nice, but a carb is very NASTY especially with a t10 behind it SAAAAAAAAAAAMBOSTICCCCCCCCC
