Hey! I like the looks / features of my convertible. It's very similar to a

really missed in gridlocked Hotlanta.

Hmm, hadn't thought about the impact in the far North where you reside. I
would think rapping lines, etc. on the older car would help.

Comparing the typical bean counter carb systems of manufacturers Vs FI,
where they have to do it ~right to get the gains to justify the extra cost,
you're right. A well done carb system, such as I had on my El Camino, was
every bit as good as the TBI on my Chevy truck, and cheaper.
