Kirk, thanks for the link to www.affordable-injection.com/
These guys have a really great idea to sell. Most of us with antique or hot
rod vehicles are stuck with antique methods of mixing fuel and air. A closed
loop system, whether TBI or MPFI, is much better than a carburetor. Just
imagine; people will be able to follow your vehicle and breathe the air! It
costs a couple of hundred to rebuild a stock carburetor. Their closed-loop
systems start at $995. Not only do you get a better running vehicle, you
also are not polluting the air!
Thanks for the input.
