1/ Your fuel economy will not improve
2/ Your motor will run more reliably(starting hot and cold, no choke issues and perform more smoothly )
3/ The cost and issues of setting it up isnt as easy as it looks
4/getting it tuned and set once again isnt that easy.
5/ Given the miles I travel in my Bristols and the cost of an EFI i decided to stick with what I have.

Do your research there is a lot on U TUBE and the US forums . Keep us informed.
I suspect you are correct and that not much, if any, economy improvements would be had and one would, at best, have to drive a lot to recoup the cost via fuel savings.

A friend of mine has suggested that I might improve my car's economy (and horrible muscle car-like idle) by reverting to a stock camshaft but I think that would be too intimidating for this home mechanic!
