Carbs arn't even that bad in gas.
If you have a good tune they are super close to EFI MPG wise.

my dad borrowed a friends dominator in the 70s to try on his XY falcon GT with a 351 Cleveland, he had it on there for about a week before it became too expensive to keep running. when he took it off he said a milk carton worth of petrol came out of the carb.

Which is why they were always shit. Factory tuned they run too rich so they would work right off the lot, sucking down gas the whole time. You had to have them tuned locally by someone who knew what they were doing to get them to work right and even then they still wouldn't work 100% because elevations changes, seasonal temperature changes, humidity, and even underhood temps would fuck with the tune.

The only people who still cling to them are club dragging neanderthals who thing plugging a laptop into the OBD port is vodoo magic. Good riddance

Carbs were really okd tech, but ICEVs are the new carbs. ICE is dead.

>blah blah blah blah yap yap yap "you needed to know a man....WITH A SCREWDRIVER if you ever wanted a car to run right"
lol, lmao even

>>28778564
Woah it's almost like a racing part needs specific conditions for it to run it's best!
>>
>>28776395
Ford's electronic feedback carb had better MPGs than the previous standard carb AND the MAF EFI that came directly after it.

>t. Zoomie who cant in2cars unless a computer does it for him.
20 bucks says you take your car in for oil changes because "I could do it but my time is more valuable" and then you plop your ass in front of your computer and play Cow of Dooty for 3 hours after your shift at McDicks.
