Not intending to confuse you further, I'm voting for the easy/fast button. If that is a Q-jet, great, but I think any carburetor is going to be an easier swap than EFI. Make it run. Make it better/perfect later. It's not like this isn't something that isn't easily undone.
To be clear, I'm not advocating for slapping it together because there are some mods that are hard to undo, but if a Q-jet is too big a hurdle right now, go to the next easiest option that works AND can be undone.
If I'm misinformed about the relative ease of an EB vs. EFI mod, I will defer to others' expertise. |
If it was me I'd go with the
Holley Sniper EFI system. It's a bolt-on solution that just works. Here's an
evaluation of the best EFI systems that rates the Holley system number 1. It's self learning so no laptop or programming is needed. I ran a previous version of this on my '69 Bronco; it just worked.
