For $2,500 you can purchase a nice 4-bbl appearing F.I. setup and have money left over for other goodies (or even with $1,500).Seems like the easiest thing to do is to get a system like a Fitech base system
That EFI was a case of good intentions while over stepping the electronic and computer technology of the day. Kind of like the electronic sequential port fuel injection option on the Chrysler 300 back in '57 or '58 (forget which year). Great idea but it would be 40 years before electronics technology caught up to where they'd be reliable, and then another 10 before they became almost bullet proof and dead nuts precise like they are today.
I remember working on a couple Cadillac Eldorado's from the late '70's with the EFI (I believe it was called L-Tronic) at one point back in the late '80's when they were still on the road. What a freaking nightmare they were, and essentially non-repairable in economic terms. Both the ones I recall got scrapped because it was going to be so expensive to fix either of them, the owners pulled the plug. Another case of trying something years before the technology was there to do it.
