The old carb'd cars had more stock horsepower, too. The B20B was rated at 118hp and 123 lb.-ft. torque. That's more horsepower than a stock B21 or B23 n/a motor with either K-jet or LH-jet.

And after having to pop for $500 for an air mass meter, $450 for a wire harness, $150 for a (used) computer, etc. I'd gladly take a pair of SU's over the LH injection system in my '86. You could have both carbs rebuilt (or replaced) for less than what a new OEM air mass meter costs at the dealer.

Gotta be a reason that more people don't retrofit D-jet to their Amazons and 1800s...
