heh....you and Scott Clark....

I considered adding EFI, but it's so easy to just bolt on a Quadrajet and get mileage, performance, and reliability...without the hassle of trying to figure out how to put all that wiring in and make it look good, dealing with a high pressure fuel system, having to tune, the added cost, etc. I literally took the carb off the shelf where it had been sitting for a couple years, bolted it on the engine, and it fired first try. I haven't even adjusted the idle mixture screws.
