- There are many reasons why the cars have fuel smell problems, but the fact they have carburetors isn't the reason per se, though for a variety of reasons they may be a contributing factor. A properly

- I am not sure where you are getting these figures but you can convert to a Holley TBI system for $700-1000 new. I bought mine for a touch over $300 (used) (right around the price of a decent carb)

- If you do all that I suggested, or buy a complete system from a wrecked car. I'm curious as to how much real world gains you're going to get, if any, over a carb / manifold swap. I'm not familiar wit

- anyone ever thought about turbos? You get better mileage and one heck of a lot of serious horses for the money, in fact the lower the compression the better it works Bill Deer Park WA.

- I am sure that some have thought about Turbos but reconsidered. Some of the AMC crowd have done it but it is alot of work and high $$$. I do have to agree that they can make big hp. gains. You also

- I agree that if you want to go to a multiport setup (for the 75's) you could get a complete system out of a Mustang 5.0 or similar. As for the AMC...there is nothing available (stock that is), altho

- There is a web site where a fellow has installed twin turbos on an AMC 360 in a AMX. The engine can certainly handle the power if you swap in a forged 401 crank and ring the block. A 401 would be eve

- OK. I mainly responded to the myth you posted that FI was in and of itself superior to a properly applied carb. Take away the electronics, and with a relatively inexpensive system you have a poor run
