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

I’m in the same camp today,,, until I learn more.
At the end of the day, what can realistically go wrong with carbs?
Not much.

I’m still focused on his use case.

Dead stock carbs. Well maintained. Driven regularly.

Stuck float. Hydrolocked. Face full of gas.



I am considering these for Elwood. https://store.jenvey.co.uk/throttle-body-ki...ottle-body-42mm

Hide everything under the air cleaner. It would look stock and run way better. And it will be fully reversible and I will keep the stock carbs and fuel pump in case the next owner wants to go back to them.
