Depending on the race class, electronics like that are not allowed so Dizzy and plug wires.
LS Engine Heads are a far better design than the SBC, why some people prefer them. Make a bunch of power and run cooler. That's just the basics without getting into it.
Imagine using a modern smart phone, on the modern internet, the arguable "pinnacle" of technology, that computers shouldn't control your motor because they are less gooder than a literal oriface controlled leak of fuel into a butterfly controlled vacuum leak. Then being wound up by the people making this face at you.
I love this place. 🤣🤣🤣

Yea when I read that post I'm over here like um for atleast a decade now people have been putting Carbs on LS Engines so how are they all computer only..
Let me throw this one at you...
Out of all these people who scream caveman carburetor, how many of them have daily driver vehicles that are modern electronic fuel injection where they get in, turn the key, and drive everywhere because they start up when they need them too and they get good gas mileage..
Dunno. Can speak for myself. My 'daily' driver to the extent you want to designate one is the 1977 c10 with the 250ci and monojet..... it's the epitome of simplicity and takes the brunt of the miles I put down. I'd say 70% of my driving is in that truck. Then again, I'm never in much rush, I don't mind letting the engine warm up and letting that rough shaky idle go smooth to prevent the stalling.Let me throw this one at you...

But I admittedly prefer the old tech, including as another example, the rag joints. I've never removed one for anything less than another rag joint.
The wife, she DOES bounce around between the toys. Some carbed, but, mostly the mustangs lately, she just likes them although she does dip into the carb pool. So she's kinda guilty of what you describe.
We did buy the 496 yukon which is computer controlled to the 9s, but, it was more of a case of getting the tow ratings and gvwr without paying the absurd rates a 4wd trailering special squarebody pulled in these days when you find one not jacked up for mudding or beat to beyond death. And, for what it's worth.... not daily driven except to keep things moving, usually taking a bulky load away from the c10.
Not talking kits, finding what you need from local sources like freinds & family that have that stuff in the back of the garage or one of those old yards (getting few & far now) that have old iron with parts handy. Old school hot rodding. There are those who could careless to have them cause they did go electronic & might even give that stuff away so they don't have to toss it in the trash. I even think I got a points distibutor somewhere in the garage.
I know exactly what you mean, why I said just depends on what you're setup for and how prepped you are to play Mad Max when needed.
It's called dump the mechanical means of trasnportation & either going Amish or light fighter mode with only running with what you need using the terrain to ones advatage. 22 years in the infantry with many quality field problems/exercises teaches alot on how to find solutions.I know exactly what you mean, why I said just depends on what you're setup for and how prepped you are to play Mad Max when needed.
