I found this old thread interesting and thought I would resurrect it with a correction. I think what Fratzog Lover is saying is that Chevy's Rochester mechanical fuel injection system on the 57 -65 Corvettes was more reliable and successful than Chrysler's abortive Bendix electronic fuel injection system, not necessarily that it was first. In fact, the Rochester unit for Chevrolet was introduced first in late 56 for the 57 model year. Chrysler's Fuel Injection system was introduced in September 1957 for the 1958 model year. Only 35 were produced and all were recalled due to significant reliability problems and were replaced with carburetors. So, he would be correct in saying, "Rochester had Chrysler beat at fuel injection back in the day," both in terms of being first and being more reliable.
