Why Carb and non OD a Gen 3?

But why? Not questioning your "decision", but the topic is "why?", so I am curious what makes you say that.
Well I suppose to not over complete things with all the wiring. Which I know really isn’t that big of a deal. A carburetor and a chip killer distributor if those are still around.
It replaces the timing cover with another that that has a provision for a front mounted distributor. Kinda cool.
