Talk me into or out of Holley Terminator X

One of the main reasons I went with EFI is to get rid of the gasoline smell. The smell wasn't when driving (I had the carb dialed in), it was after parking the car in the garage for a few days. The smell would eventually soak into the garage and the car's interior. Then I would drive it and my clothes would pick up the smell, so that made me drive the car less.

The car is now better in every possible way, except for one: it lost a little piece of it's soul, or maybe I should say its personality. There's something about knowing just how many pumps the pedal needs on a cold start, or hearing the sound of the throttle blades going wide open, or having the interior smell like "old car". Like dialing a rotary phone or adjusting the rabbit ears on the TV, the new way is much better, but the old way had personality. If you count yourself on old school car guy, then I would not try to sell you on EFI.
