That sums it up pretty well, so I won't go on my rant this time.

If your car currently has efi, you
will not pass emissions with a carb (if that is a concern then forget the swap idea now).
Those that say carbs are "easier" to work on/tune are just too lazy to learn new technology. Buy a book. Besides, it is not a matter of which is easier, Apples cannot be compared to Oranges.
My opinion is that EFI is a better system because it provides better control of the a/f ratio. This simple fact means that you will be able to find a better compromise between fuel economy, power, and emissions.
I have never seen a side by side cost comparison between efi and a comparable carb setup. I am not convinced that converting to efi would save you any money.
How is efi too complex? The system is pretty simple really. The computer uses a series of inputs to control fuel metering.
Hope I didn't
really piss off any of you carb guys, I know how passionate you are.
In my opinion though the carb is slowly going the way of the Buffalo.
Good Luck
