The only time ive ever had a carb stumble on me was on a full throttle start when the engine was cold.
Come ride in my dually, you wont be able to tell its carbed except for when i pump the gas before i start it...
Oh, and i dont compare a 77 302 to a 96 300 btw....Your 94 EFI 302 would seem worthless next to a 94 300 I6 when being used like a truck should be used. Would i want a 300 in a mustang? No, same reason i dont want a 302 in a truck.
Its like argueing over Chevy and Ford, Coke or pepsi, Mcdonalds or burger king, etc etc. Both sides can keep argueing when in reality Either one gets you down the road, satisfys your thirst, or makes you not hungry.
A EFI system meters fuel and air into the cylinders through use of electronics. A carburator meters fuel and air into the cylinders through use of mechanics. Thats what it boils down to.
I prefer carbs because they do the same thing as EFI, and there alot simpler to work on, cheaper to fix, etc. Here are some questios You have to ask yourself to decide if EFI is right for you....
.How often will I be starting this thing and taking off full throttle when its -20* F?
Do i REALLY need my truck to run on its roof?
Is it really worth the hassle of traceing down miles and miles of colorful speghetti to track down those inevitable wireing gremlins that happens everytime you try to wire something that wasnt supposed to be there?
Is it REALLY worth the extra money, time, and effort to initally get the thing running?
Now after these questions doesnt seem smarter, and better, and eaiser, and cheaper to hook up a fuel line, throttle cable, and choke cable and call it a day?
later,
