I know cause you don't need 2 wire them, Predator carbs ajust themselves and wow If somtin aint broke, dont fix it, this is why the 350 Chevy has been around for 35+ years. I'm assuming ur turbo buick is the 231 or 235 that was used in the 1985 - 1987 Buick Regal Grand Nationals? Sorry but I have no knowladge of pinion angles.
Those are some of the reasons. Mostly though because people are creatures of habit. No matter how much better, easier, more reliable and economical EFI is over carburation, the fear of the unknown is enough to keep the carburetor companies in business for the foreseeable future. Myself, unless I'm building a period piece or resto-rod that needs a carb to stay with the "theme" of the car, EFI will be on everything that I drive.

And I bet you thought I was gonna say something smart-alecky like "Because most rodder's belong in museums, too!" Nah... too easy!

231 c.i. SFI Turbo from '87 GN (all GN's and T-Types had this motor, only '86-87's are intercooled).

I apologize for hijacking this post, Curnut54.
