Given the choice of which system to have, Carbs or F/I ALREADY installed and in good condition we'd all probably take the F/I. But given a budget of money AND time, and a 30 year old car with a foggy history AND the responsibility of installing and maintaining either one of these.. . .? No contest. Carbs.
I can take just about ANY carb set you give me and piece it together with minimal $ and time and make it work well (maybe not perfect) enough. ANY CARB, rusty, seized, dirty. The parts are available and affordable. Give me an average condition carb and I can make it near perfect. I'd put a street value of an average carb set at $300. And I KNOW when the problem is with the carbs or otherwise. You know its a friggen crapshoot when you go buy F/I stuff. Its either un-obtainium or used and who knows the REAL condition. And go into the database and see how many F/I "help wanted" issues there are compared to carbs. Wait...maybe dont go that far...I dont want to know! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) Its also a personality thing, carbs are old school cool. I can adjust em' and I can drive 4000 miles and what's gonna break? Not the MPS or the AAR or the CHT or anyof the 57 connections or the various relays... .. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) yay for Me!! -Bob O |
