TBI vs. Carb?

[tucsonjwt]

Fuel injection working properly is great. As reported, there are a lot more gizmos to go wrong - you are entering the computer zone which does not exist on carbureted vehicles. So, a new vehicle with fuel injection is mostly trouble free. An old vehicle with TBI will likely need a lot of trouble shooting and repair. Anybody can swap out a carburetor. Unless you drive a lot of miles, a TBI won't be worth the cost of modification/repair, IMO. If I went FI I would prefer a late model truck with less need for repair.
