Until I had trouble last night I thought I was very happy with how my CIS was working.

So I'm back to an itch I have wanted to scratch for years - converting to EFI.

It almost seems like a no brainer. Get rid of the myriad potential vacuum leaks, The obsolete parts that are increasingly expensive to replace/rebuild, the great, big lifting disc right in the middle of the airflow.

I would expect trouble-free cold starts, better throttle response, better fuel mileage and potential for performance improvements (hot cams!)

My modern fuel injected cars pretty much don't have fuel system problems. My 98 Vortec had some issues but that's a pretty oddball setup.

Old american V8's have a selection of units you can just bolt on an intake manifold and go. (at least that's what it looks like).

So what am I missing here? Some of the kits out there have very reasonable prices. Why aren't these swaps commonplace?
