Reply to "Switching from carbs to fuel injection"

I also use a Bob Oliver 700 double pumper Holley and am satisfied with its performance, which surprised me by breaking the rear tires loose in 3rd gear when I did a full-throttle exit of a freeway on-ramp. On a trip to 'Vegas from Carson City NV- a jaunt of some 420 miles, the carb also delivered 21 mpg with frequent triple digits seen on the speedo and no particular effort at mileage.

That said, I probably should have copied Jim Murch's efforts. Jim installed a modified Ford factory EFI system from a 351-W that can be made to fit, itself a copy of an earlier installation done in Sweden by an owner whom I've forgotten, it having happened in the late '80s! Both these cars are still running just fine.
