He insisted that EFI was unreliable.
So guess what left him stranded halfway across the country? A kinked fuel hose feeding his beloved carbie.
In 1990/92 most small cars of Pulsar size still had carbies, while some had EFI on the upmarket or had it as an expensive option.

I'm talking about cars like Laser, 323 Mazda, Corolla, Lancer, Civic, Barina, Swift etc. etc.
