There are so many good car innovations that get a bad reputation because of technician ignorance. I could make a LOOOOOoooooonnngg list of examples, but here's a short one:

57 Chevy Rochester FI. Dealer techs didn't understand them so they recommended a four barrel.

Multiple carburetor systems on all makes and models. Many people don't have the patience or the carb theory knowledge so they take em off and put on a four barrel.

Here's one that is MUCH more simple with a few wires, a switch and a coil, but the technicians found one wire, one switch and one coil to be too complicated, so they condemned it as no good. This was the Doug Nash 4+3 overdrive in the late eighties Vettes. I have one and have repaired it several times and it's as simple as a light switch and a bulb, but the techs couldn't deal with it.

In the first ten years of EFI, the same thing was happening in the shops. The same thing still happens with hobbyists. EFI IMHO is probably the greatest improvement to the internal combustion engine EVER! It amazes me how many people I see on discussion forums of all brands that rip it off and put an antiquated carburetor in it's place. For all out racing, this makes horsepower sense in some cases, but it is usually due to lack of knowledge or resistance to change.

So Rockher-man put on those three deuces, make it run right and thumb your nose at the naysayers.
