You originally asked about an alky carb setup, so I wasn't trying to convince you to go injection. But I honestly think it is the right way to go. But there is nothing wrong with a good complete alky carb fuel system.

Check the total cost and the "kit" cost of a Ron's injection system isn't as high as it might initially look. Their kits include the fuel pump ($350-450), fuel filter($100), pump drive/installation brackets ($225), extra tuning pills (jets), etc. etc. So when you add it all up, it isn't much more than a good, complete alky carb fuel system setup.

If you want simple, go with a carb.
If you want the best, go with injection.

I ran my injection without a primer system for a couple years. But after spending a little more for the Ron's "Primer Plus" I highly recommend spending the money. It makes cold weather starting easier, warms up better (running on gasoline), and just starts better even between round (IMO).
