One of the biggest advantages I enjoy is that my car can sit for more than three or four days, and I don't have to pour gas down carb to start it. What a PITA that was. And I had that on more than one car with different carbs. A thermoquad, and now on my Power Wagon with an edelbrock 1406.
A simple electric booster pump would have fixed that for a heck of a lot less and a whole lot simpler.
