Thanks. Jay
I'll put in plug for the F.A.S.T throttle body EZ EFI. It bolts to a Holley square bore bolt pattern manifold. Fantastic throttle response, Instant cold start and smooth idle. Easy tuning with a hand held pendant. You can set idle, cruise, WOT air fuel ratios, and the computer tunes itself over time using a wide band O2 sensor. You can also tune the "pump shot" parameter, as well as control electric fans. No need to even open the decklid. It is impervious to heat realted issues like fuel boiling in the bowls on a hot day. Over carburation is not an issue. My TB flows 1000 CFM.
That is the good. Now the negative. EFI is expensive. $2500 for a system. EFI is complicated. You need to plumb new fuel lines and new electrical connections. It would be best to pull the motor and do the plumbing and wiring right. EFI needs no leaks whatsoever in the intake or exhaust. It is technological. If you are not a do it your selfer, or engineer type that refuses to be defeated by technology, then EFI is not for you.
Otherwise, EFI can solve all drawbacks that the metered leak has.
