I'm not knocking EFI. I understand that in the more tightly regulated emissions paradigm of modern motor vehicles, EFI is pretty much a necessity. It's flexible, scalable and like many others have said, reliable.

Outside a nuclear war. There is that little asterisk.

But I prefer carbs. That's where the thing breaks down for me. On an emotional level I prefer the non-electronic option, the one that, if I really really needed to, I could MAKE one from a block of wood. Or if I could scare up the materials in an emergency, I could make one from assorted bits of scrap metal.

Granted, the wooden one wouldn't work very well. But how many wooden EFI systems do you see?
