MUCH better! I was in a GM Training Center class in 1963, shortly after they discontinued the mechanical fuel injection system on the 283 and early 327's in the Corvette. Being young and wise, I took it upon myself to chastise the GM engineer who was teaching the class over that decision. He commenced to educate me in front of the whole class:
1. "The Rochester 4 barrel makes more horsepower and torque than the fuel injection engine everywhere EXCEPT wide open throttle."
2. "GM loses money on every injection system we make- - - -customers would refuse to pay a break-even price if we charged that much."
3. "If every gasoline engine in the world was equipped with the best fuel injection system we know how to build, and someone came up with carburetion in its present stage of development, it would be hailed as a MAJOR advance in fuel system technology!"
I kept my big mouth shut for the rest of the class, and actually learned a thing or two. When Volkswagen brought out a rudimentary electronic injection system in 1966, things improved some- - - -until the truckers learned that a CB radio with a power booster could turn the injectors off when a VW was passing them!
