MFI or carbs? Options

[bossboy302]

Sorry for re-asking this, but as I begin fiddling with mechanical and electrical components for my project 6 conversion, I am still pondering this decision.

The car, when finished, will be shipped to Europe where my wife and I can use it when we're there, and do some rallies, trips and such. There will likely be (months-long) periods of no use.

Have most of the necessary stuff for the build, (included with the '71E motor-entire MFI, fuel filter/console, complete electrical board, fuel pump, etc) all from 'donor' car...

But I'm beginning to sense that the complexity of MFI (transducers, fuel system, micro-switches, etc.) could prove challenging. A good set of PMO's on the other hand: basic fuel pump and regulator, MSD 6AL, and a spray can of ether may be better suited, again given the intended use.

So, I welcome thoughts and opinions-thanks

EFI is nice and all but that wasn’t what OP asked about. Then there is that little issue of Tuning EFI.

I have yet to see any “auto tune” actually do what it implies. Awaiting the day. It’s getting closer but not there yet.

Still won’t have OBD with aftermarket EFI. You could actually end up in a worse situation traveling in Europe without a laptop should something go wrong. So average repair shop will be of zero help without the laptop to connect to EFI.

Let’s just say for a moment that the MS or whatever ECU takes a (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) . What them? Try to import one to Europe overnight? I suppose someone in Europe may have them? You see where this is going? Open to be corrected - just thinking out loud.
