A friend of mine I worked with at AT&T built a Factory-5 Cobra replica and after 2 years or so located an aftermarket EFI system that uses all Ford parts and electronics. The throttle body bolts to the intake just like a carb so you get to use a stock A/C assembly. It is a slick system and the little 302 goes like scalded stink. Parts are readily available, low in cost and reliable. It was the upfront cost that will make you cry....$3500 or so!! I'll call him next chance I get and get the name of the company.

Well, my carb has been rebuilt somewhere along the line and works. As long as I can still get Decent Gas, I see no need to add to the complexity of the coach. Mileage is reported as improving to 8-10 on the injected engines, up from 8-10 for the carbureted ones. There simply isn't any upside for me.
When the State of GA in its infinite stupidity outlaws proper gasoline, I'll revisit the systems. Hopefully, by that time, somebody will have turned out a port ready manifold, sensors, and computer to run it. I wonder if you could derive crank angle and cam position from a distributor with a tone wheel in it... Or KISS using something similar to VW's CIS or CIS-E, which gets the bulk of benefit from port injection fairly cheaply. (I'm full of ideas for someone else to implement)

So it seems many are still sticking with Carb from the
Poll.

Is this due to cost ???

Or hard to install?

Of the people who do have EFI how many have done the
Rockwell instake?
