changing to carburetor

Has anyone considered, changing over to carburetor, and doing way with the whole computer thing, I mean really what good is it, you definitly don't get better gas mileage, and the electrical problems just seem to be endless, is it really an improvement, someone convince me. other than not having to step on the gas when you start it, I don't see the advantage, is this just my lack of knowledge of this new technoligy. I put a edlebrock carb on my 1977 f150 4yrs ago and I have never touched it since, and it runs like a top, I get around 15 miles per gallon, the truck has never let me down what gives? Randy

Search the forum. This has been beaten to death. I'd give my viewpoint, but I'm tired and I'm going to bed.

I guess I would take EFI over carb anyday of the week, But I have always had good luck with EFI. Engines also last alot longer using EFI systems.
