Hands down carburetion is cheaper and easier in virtually any situation. I prefer it for a low cost induction system, still get ok mileage, but reliable and easy to fiddle with. I prefer the mechanical over the electrical

mechanical over electrical ftw. not to mention it just looks better under the hood, and is less cluttered

Carburetion is just so simple/uncluttered, it's hard to beat it on that point alone

Not that I ever ran a carb.....or do I really have the experience to give you a reason to go with EFI.......

But I thought that it was funny that every post that responded to you had a 79 or earlier model mustang in their login name.....

67mustang302, hellion_79, my77stang.......LOL!
