Carbs versus FI, I can buy some carbs and stuff but can I buy FI? Options

Can you just buy a FI setup? Or do you have to resurrect your 50 system that has been in a box for forty years and you know something is wrong with it?

I’ve been following your other thread so I definitely sense this question is being asked out of frustration. I can appreciate why you are frustrated. Tuning carbs is not hard but it takes a methodical, patient approach.

Going to FI will not be the quick fix you’re wanting.

A DIY fuel injection system has a learning curve that is MUCH steeper than learning how to tune dual Webers. If you out source the fuel injection install and tuning you will be looking at a solution that leans toward $5k or more.

I wish there were an easy DIY fool proof turn key system but it does not exist yet.

The dual Weber setup is not fragile at all. I put over 100k miles on the exact set up you have including the 009 distributor that was thought to be “the” solution in the 80s.

Put in the time to learn how to dial in the Webers. You need that baseline knowledge of tuning (rich, lean, transition, ignition advance) to be able to tune Fi anyway.

You have guys trying to help that know how to tune and you are getting good advice. Just need to buckle down, be methodical and work your way through.
