About reliability......
My EFI died 3 times in a year from MAF, ground and O2 sensor problems respectively totalling over $1000 in repairs. Once I got the carb conversion woes out of the way and had it running, the worst that happened to me is that it died once in 2 years. I went up front and sprayed some carb cleaner at it and then started her back up and drove off.
Word.
I think the carb is much more accessible and costs much less to repair and tweak. When something dies on an EFI, all you can do is replace components and these usually are $50-$300 per component

I really cant argue with your point since I seem to fry my mass air sensor every 6 weeks. It is also alot harder to track down problems on an EFI car.
I plan on doing a 351 swap in the near future and it will have a carb. I dont want to spend 600 bux for an efi intake, 300 bux for 30 # injectors, 200 bux for a new mass air meter and another 350 bux to have it dyno tuned so it will idle right.
If only I were rich
