F.I. is a huge deal. And, remember those nasty rich cold start and warm ups that were "normal" on all but the best maintained cars, Pumping the gas pedal, Chokes that didn't choke, or chokes that wouldn't stop choking. People trying to double the miles between those tune-ups that seemed to be due weekly.

Think about the extra life we get today from knock sensors. Knock sensors, with F.I. and 100K spark plugs protect good engines from human beings. We as a group can't be trusted.
