You could have those leaky injectors cleaned/flow tested to remove that problem. That would take care of any flooding problems if they are there...

Rich does great work, with a great turnaround time. Of course a good price too.

unless you are building a drag car, there is not point replacing the fuel injection system with a carb. You loose too much daily driveability and will be needing to retune the carb for cold and warm weather.

In addition, cleaning the injectors is light years cheaper than replacing the entire intake manifold, CAS, and all the other assorted work that a real conversion would require.
