I have used the tbi setups, fitech and holleys Sniper. I would never go back to a carb. First thing to go on a new project. As mentioned, the ease of use once it's in is shocking. It felt like a newer car.

I have looked into some of the newer mod motors for my latest build (82 Foxbody), the wiring for those is pretty daunting. I am still looking at doing one, just doing the research. I rewired my 68 with an AAW harness, how much harder can it be.

Is this a daily driver car or just an occasional fun drive around town? The climate where you live will also affect this, are there big temp changes there? Will you potentially be driving throughout the year, not just during sunny 75*+ weather? I daily drove my coupe and never had a major issue in over 4 years with the efi swap, sunny weather to freezing and covered in snow.

The Sniper setup asks like 3 questions and then it self learns and adjusts for any condition. I didn't have to mess with it ever after the initial install. It automatically adjusted for temp changes , the engine never missing a beat.

I can't say the same for most carb vehicles I've had. Maybe I didn't have the $800 super carbs professionally setup by a tuner, maybe that's what I needed.

The cost has come down considerably in the last few years too. A decent kit can be had for under a grand. The fuel system is cake. You need a fuel pump and possibly a regulator, or there are tanks with those options built in now.

Heck I think there was a Holley Sniper kit in the classifieds, complete with fuel system either now or not long ago.
