Restoring a 70 which will have a 76 2 liter. Currently has factory injection but guy who will be building engine for me is anti injection. I know this becomes personal decision but could use some input on pro/cons. Cost is a concern but so is practicality and performance.
Words of wisdom please. Merry and Happy to all! |

Current motor (2056) is dual carb (Webber IDF 40's) and is reliable, runs well. Having said that....if you have a choice stick with fuel injection.
