Wow that issue really hit it off!! I aggree with bodyworks!!! My slick was born with a single barrel carb and I'm satisfied,, she runs great, starts in subzero weather without a problem and gets great gas milage, besides that I'm too broke and still recovering from the new rims I bought to even think about EFI, or TPI or Rubbish, either way she still gets her whistle wet
and I love to tinker with simplicity,, (I can't spell) think about it,, if it ain't broke,, don't fix it,, 40 years is proof enough,,
Forget converting to EFI.
EFI/Carb
I read an article on putting injectors in each port of a FE intake, Hot Rod online I think.
The Gentleman was saying how you could tune each cylinder with this setup.
It sounded neat, I may go this route one day.
For now, I will stick with my 4100 on my 352 in my 65 F-100.
It came off of a 65 Galaxie with a 352, I used it so I could have the kickdown lever.
I had a 4100 with no kickdown lever on my 65 for over 16 years and a point distributor for over 30 years and I just replaced them last year.
The 4100 was replaced for because of the kickdown lever, the distributor was replaced because the vacum advance diaphram was leaking.
I think everyone should run what they want to run, are familiar with and feel comfortable with.
I like my carb and points but wouldnt try to push them off on anyone else.

The only "new" technology on mine is a Pertronix, which I installed a couple years ago, but still carry a set of points & cond to get me home as all this newer stuff has the ability to just quit. I am also too old to try to understand all involved with some of this new stuff. I don't even have a radio in mine, not needed.
Simple, basic, transportation is all that is needed. If people would just think a little while driving, we wouldn't need all the new things on our vehicles that the Gov feels we need to protect us. I better stop, this is getting to be a rant.
