In-line 6’s have the worst cylinder to cylinder fuel distribution (especially during transients) and are the most likely to benefit from port injection. Electronic FI compensates for so much (temperatures, altitude, transient operation) that it’s a good deal AFAIAC.

The kit I saw a while back was $1400 or so but supposedly everything to convert one like mine over.

Carbs are such a pain.

My old 79 Blazer has a 4 barrel that I need to replace. When it came to me and rebuilding carbs, it never really worked out well.

All my oldies get nothing but ethanol free.

Where can I get a fuel injected slant-6 225? When my '99 Century dies (and I have a garage) I want to replace her with a '60's Dodge Dart or Plymouth Valiant.

"However, future innovations will probably focus on disruptive technology trends, so customer perceptions of value will shift, increasingly putting incumbents in danger."

That stuff is best modular and not an essential part of the car. Make it so, and all the models can take whatever is hot at moment. Sort of a 21st century version of an in-dash DIN style cassette deck.
