Pretty much the same here. I doubt i'll ever own a twin carb engine again, every Volvo i've owned since about 1990 has been fuel injection (except a 340GL 1.7 that i bought to sell on), in fact almost every other car since about the same time has been fuel injected so unless i win the lottery and buy some of my "dream classics", the chances of me owning anything with carbs (single or multiple) are somewhere between anorexic and none!
Even then, i have plans to retro-fit a later version of the same engine in some of those dream classics that has fuel injection so the old carbs would be polished and put on the mantelpiece!
