One of my favourite quotes from 'Automotive Fuel Injection Systems - A
technical guide - by Jan P Norbye. The quote is from a Bendix engineer
working on
developing electronic fuel injection:
"As one of our engineers observed at the time, 'We have a new electronic
fuel injection system that is almost as reliable as a forteen dollar
carburettor ; and only costs twenty times as much'."

A while back I picked up a TBI off of a Geo Metro from the local boneyard
for just this purpose. I was going to use this with the megasquirt to feed
my Judson.
A couple items have kept me from persuing this further.
#1 is the exspensive fuel pump, regulator, and having to plumb the return
line back to the tank.
#2 My current 1 1/2 inch SU works fine. I find it hard to upgrade when it's
working OK now.
In any case I just thought I would mention the Metro TBI. It's well sized
for the Spridget and
has the throttle position sensor integrated. I think it has the fuel
pressure regulator and idle control
integrated as well.
I think that this TBI coupled with a single flange downdraft manifold along
with a 5 speed and you
could end up with 55-60 mpg highway easy. That might come in handy some
day, when the price of gas
jumps back up.
