The car is my DD, I don't need things going wrong on my way to school or work.

I've looked at the mega squirt stuff for the I6, but I don't really understand what all I need to make it work so I never considered buying it.

yeah its kind of odd thing...but you should research it a bit more...you can build one yourself and I bet digi key has the components already pre packed or you can find one ready to go I bet someone even has the data for early mustangs to use directly...probably not the easiest way to go but for sure the most tunable.

lol i drive 100 miles every 2 weeks, EFI is prolly a good idea then.

or you could buy a beater. i was planning on buying one but i could get buy without a DD for now.

but ofcourse a EFI in a classic would be unique and isnt that plus loving the style what owning a classic is about in the first place?

go for it.

I am not sure how EFI means things are going to break less... Just got more **** to break tbh...

When my mustang was my DD I was having more problems with wonderful things like wheel cylinders, upper control arms, brakes stuff, tires causing bump steer (whats this called again), starter, but the engine never did me wrong unless I let it sit for more than a month then obviously things go to hell with the carb blehhhh
