Some part of me is richly satisfied in knowing that I will never have to spend another moment troubleshooting performance and economy issues with a Rochester Quadrajet 4-barrel carb and the combination vacuum/mechanical spark advance of GM's HEI distributor. I think we're definitely in a better place these days. And I'll be thinking of this, and all of the money that I didn't dump down the throat of a carburated engine, the next time I get out my special bendy-ratchet (that articulates in two different places) and single-purpose crowsfoot socket to change an O2 sensor that has finally gone wonky after hundreds of thousands of miles. :)
