Meanwhile, that simple distributor and carb has the advantage of being able to be fixed with duct tape, fingernail file, epoxy, and paper clips if need be.

I am rolling the dice and going with the Holley Sniper and the accompanying distributor for my car. I am not going to let my lack of knowledge about EFI stop me from trying it out. I'll do the required homework, just like I did when I knew nothing about carbs.
I have the holley sniper with the distrib and really like it.

However, that edelbrock 4 with the intake manifold looks better and the cost is about the same.
