carb vs. efi

[Sandy]

Man Greg, sounds like part of my life story, I had the 69' 427, ran it with
a couple of thrashed motors, used it as a daily driver too, ran the best on
the street with my worked over Q-Jet (Best carb made....) Had the IH Scout
too, had one with the ND Turbo Diesel, swapped that for a destroked chevy
400, I'm now thrashing an old 323 Alpina BMW that just wont stop running.
Just glad to see that I'm not the only one with really strange things going
on!!
