Putting cars back on the road with primitive fuel delivery systems that
produce significantly more pollution than an FI system is a really bad idea.

Not only do they produce more pollution, they use more gas.

It is better to fix the FI system than to pretend that you can do better
with a carb.  As Dennis Haynes has explained numerous times, even the
relatively primitive Digijet FI system does a really good job when it is
working well - all vacuum hoses in good condition, all contact points
cleaned, go O2 sensor, tight exhaust system, good catalytic converter,
properly working AFM and ECU, etc.

He also explains that a small % of cars produce an inordinate % of the air
pollution.  Why add another vehicle to that group of gross polluters?
