humm........throttle bodies are not "better" than carbs at all, depends how you work with each.... i would be happier with bodies on my engine but i wouldn't over look carbs, they are very good, reliable too and if well set up, which isn't a problem, will perform equally as well.... carbs dont ned setting up that often anyway... its a myth! | |

quote: because throttle bodies are better, more reliable and widely available. dont need tuning and setting up as often either. ive had a few cars on carbs, never been 100% satisfied with them. | |

You can get a kit from Alpha that is just an ignition system. | |
