Some people just like carbs I guess. NO ECU I bet that way. Might also be done to fit in a racing class perhaps.

cool lookin set-up but isn"t it the other way around most people swap their carbs for fuel injection :shock: thats why I went with an ecotec because it was cheaper to buy the whole engine then to put fuel injection on my vw. :mrgreen:

They did that for simplicity. Not sayin it was easier, it was what they knew at the time. I race with them and when I put my subaru in the race buggy with the fuel injection it raised a few eyebrows. I cant say one is better, just who you talk to :mrgreen:

Quads for rods makes an intake for dual side drafts..But yes simplicity.. You can also get a msd dist. for them also and loose all the electronics

Yeah, You would still need a ecm to tell the coils when to fire. Probably just a signal wire from the crank to tell them to fire. I like that set up first time I've seen one. You could wire an ecotec with a 1/3 of the wiring.
