I think that if you have the 1.7 stock cam in your car the easiest most reliable and cheapest route is to become an expert on the stock FI system and fix the things that aren't working correctly.
My opinion...since you asked.
with your bottom line here but will add a little to my experience with these carbs. I did run them with the stock cam and thought they did fine. Like I said, I just bolted them on the stock engine. Back then, the only time the stock FI failed me was when I drove the car
There was no Internet then and I had neither the know-how, money, or luxury of time to constantly fiddle with the deteriorated FI. The car was my only transportation for awhile and the 34 ICTs were the quickest and cheapest way to make the car dependable again. I should say that in addition to the 009 flat spot, they didn't quite have the top end of the FI but I didn't care.
I wouldn't make the same choice today. With the Internet and alternate transportation, I would invest the time to get the FI sorted. I'm not sure I agree that is the easiest option, but IMO is the better one.
