Re: Need opinions on carb vs efi
The original and properly working induction system will work better and likely get better mileage than an aftermarket carb with an aluminum intake.
F.I. seems a large expense and more hassle than necessary for what now is a minor issue to solve. A well sorted dual exhaust would probably gain more mileage than F.I. alone.

The last carbs I remember with chokes that worked well were late 60s and early 70s factory Q-jets with divorced chokes and choke pull-offs. Rarely needed to adjust anything on them to get consistent operation. My buddy who's a Ford guy says the same is true of OEM Autolite carbs used in the 50s-70s.
