Anthony:

The Rochester system incorporated eight injector nozzles in the intake but did not have individual runner systems like Webers. The air meter sat in the middle of the intake with a butterfly much like that found on most four barrel intakes.

The FI system enhanced the cornering speed of the Corvette, in that the fuel would not slosh from side to side in hard cornerning which was a major problem with the 2X4bbl. system that was an option on the Corvette. The older systems cost as much as the cars did new, these days. The '65 is still the preferred unit.
