Seriously, carburetors are defenseless against fuel injection in terms of precisely metering fuel. Yah you don't need as big a fuel pump with a carb but that is it as far as carburetor advantages go (and more pressure of FI means better atomization). FI beats carbs silly in every way, unless you are worried about a nearby nuclear electromagnetic pulse or something.

Edit, and electronic ignition would not be happy with an EMP either, not sure about points ignition though.
