Re: Car starts, won't run....

I did the same thing, there is a fusible link where the wire from the alternator hooks up to the junction box near your battery. Replace it, or at least check it with your DIMM real quick.

Re: What do you think?

I like fuel injection for the better throttle response and improved reliability. The throttle body is going to flow 670 cfm, more than I will ever need, even at over 100 percent volumetric effency.
