better fuel milage.
easier starting(remote).
better cold weather/high altitude operation.
cleaner emissions.
more low rpm TQ.
nothing looks as trick as EFI in an older car.

If you got the time and paitence making your
own wiring harness will be cheaper, look better and not have extra wires that you
don't need. Using the marine grade wire will ensure it last forever too.
There are fuel injection manifolds that look like a carb setup if the stock type intake
turns you off, Not to mention some heavily chromed ones too!! check ebay.
