"...quadrojunk..."
Excuse me, your bias is showing.
And it's a pretty lame one, too.
Maybe I'm just lucky, but I've been running one for over 5 years in a daily driver with the only adjustments required when I "changed" something - like the mods in the sig.
The sensors are only a nightmare for the illogical and those unwilling to learn.
For the record, I'm not all that "lucky"...

You stuck a 750 edelbrock on a stock 305? Damn, talk about overkill. Seriously though, you could have made that quadrajet really perform. I thought about one myself, but went with what my money could afford.
