Bob,

I noticed that the price quoted is for a STOCK Olds engine. Is the 455 or 403 in a GMCMH considered a STOCK Olds car engine. I'm too lazy to call and ask.

For me, I think that there is really not enough $ saved and the potential agravation factor not worth go from a perfectly funcional carb. I, for one, don't have a motorhome to work on in the driveway during that time when I am free of honey-does, or on the side of the road during a vacation trip. I know that there are two camps on this issue and each will always try to out shout the other. I also know that ego will keep some from admitting their problems. Each of us travel and drive under different conditions and styles. Some at 55 mph, some 62-65 mph and some blistering along at 70-75 mph (at least that's what they brag about). I think that whether you use a carb or a FI that the engine condition should be checked out first before second guessing why "it ain't just right".

My 2 cents.
