Default RE: Carb versus Fuel injection

I have not a clue about carburetors. would it be easy for me to learn how to tune it ant what not. its going to be a daily driver and i'll probably only drive it hard once in a while. other than that, it would be usual wear and tear.


you guys think a carburetor in a 351W will hold me off fine?

no reason to spend another $1,000 or so for EFI?

Thanks

A carburetor will do just fine for a daily driver. Just think, what did people drive in 1968 as a daily driver??
Carburetors aren't that difficult to work on either. I've drove my 1970 truck every day for about 4 years now. put about 20K on it and it has never let me down.

Having a 67 as a DD isn't bad at all, I have my 66 as my DD and it is carbureted as well, hasn't given me any problems I can't fix.
