Running well with a rebuilt Qjet and patterson ignition system for now. But I never can seem to leave well enough alone...

I will be converting to Air Sensors MAF TB EFI kit that I ran on My 406 Trans AM. It was one of the earliest conversion kits. I bought it off of an RV customer who was trading in his coach at Lazy Days ~25 years ago and it worked well for me.

Jim B makes a good point about EFI though- if you break down in BFE, you better know how to fix it. I will be carrying the Qjet and a bypass regulator in case the EFI goes Tango Uniform. I can switch it out on the roadside in 30 min or so.

I also have a complete [except for the tank] LP gas conversion kit that was OEM on Holiday Ramblers in the 80s that I might try as an experiment. Apparently there were some lawsuits that scared dealers from selling coaches with the dual fuel system. I got it for free off of a trade in. You can switch from LP to gas and back.

I will also be upgrading the ignition with an MSD 6 with timing controll that I have laying around.

I would advise anyone going the EFI route to invest in a quality fuel PSI gauge and a wideband O2 sensor. I have become a big beliver in useing the wideband for tuning.
