And here is the answer for the naysayers and doubters! ....."just too much fun not to do...." It's a personal challenge with great satisfaction when it all works, like when the purist finds a Genuine New Old Stock gizmo for his dash after years of searching!
Plus, you keep the "flavor" of the flathead while enjoying the benefits of EFI, such as no more washing down the cylinders from over-choking or too large jets. Too many guys run a too rich idle mixture because "it sounds better" or they try to tune with a vacuum gauge. This all results in oil dilution and faster engine wear needlessly. I've had the heads off many late model fuel injected engines with well over 200,000 miles, and the crosshatch in the cylinders still is visible at the top of the bore.
Then you have the guys who like to cruise into the drive-in with the choke pulled out because they think it sounds like a full race cam!
