First I used to rebuild all major 4 barrels carbs and did some rejecting of a quad...smaller jets and thicker metering rods etc.
BUT a FI with a set of electric controls can be TUNED on the fly, on the road, you cannot do that with a carb, and with again the right test gear you can see what happens when you make changes within a mile of two.
I will take a FI system any day over a tear down and guess and drive a tank of gas to see if it worked carb.
I grew up with cabs and points and so on...I can fix of rebuild every part of the car BUT for a automatic transmission. I can rebuild stick shift trannys, I go so far back I used to rebuild starters and generators, turning down the commutators and replacing brushes.
I know how to energizer a generator and regulator system...
And I kept up and can work on FI now as well.
