No computer needed either, just a paper clip to jumper the EEC into self-test.

Carbs suck, and stacks are eye wash.
Yeah, I hear you about how fuel injection has been adopted by everyone, it certainly represents progress especially for mass-produced autos. But I think I MAY want to pick and choose which advances in technology I take advantage of in this car. I'll take the more modern head design and metal composition, may end up going with EFI. But in a lot of areas I want this to be the throwback to the 60's.

I wouldn't go as far as to say "carbs suck" (although that it is literal description of their function), but I sure don't have the experience level that I think you possess so I'm not going to try and argue the point! Thanks for your views though, this is all helping me at this point.
