I love efi/dis stuff. I dont have to mess with it when the weather changes. I understand why guys prefer tinkering with carbs though, there is something cathartic about twiddling with wrenches all afternoon to make a precisely timed and fueled engine run.
carbs are kind of a bugle though, with one efficient note and other less efficient octaves. when the engine comes running with all the efi hardware attached, I would be hard pressed to change it just for some looks at a car show. just an opinion.
most modern engines dont come with a distributor hole or drive, so that is a wrinkle, because the stuff to run the dis is pricey. do what you like though!
