1. Quadrajunk. Best factory carburetor, EVER. You can tune one to run as fast as you want to. Awesome driveability. It's called "Quadrajunk" by people who don't know what the hell they are doing with it.
2. EFI vs. Carb: It has NEVER, I repeat, NEVER been proven that the carb will make more peak HP. Never. EFI is better in all aspects.
I like carbs, and for hotrods, I prefer them. But EFI is better, and this isn't even a debatable point.
3. Distributors. IW said there's nothing wrong with them. He's right. They work fine. That's not to say that Distributorless systems aren't better, because they are. But Distributors work fine.
4. No old 60's car got 30mpg. Any claim that one did is complete B.S. And the Bronco with a 302 mentioned above didn't, either.
Argue that is did if you want, but there is no way it did, unless it was idling down a big mountain.
5. That's about it. Some good points have been made in here, too.
