I have rebuilt about every kind of carb ever used.
GM started tinkering with fuel injection in 1957 but didn't really get serious about it until around 1970. Brought about, as was mentioned above, by electronic control systems. The ECM (Electronic Control Module) was first invented for use in the space shuttle program. Little computers designed for their light weight. Which enabled them to be used as multiple redundant systems on the shuttle orbiters. First applied to automobile engines made by GM around 1976 and were standard equipment from 1977 on.
Unless someone comes up with a commercially and economically viable battery powered system, hydrogen will become the fuel of the future as fossil fuels begin to wane in their abundance. It burns so much cleaner than that dirty old gasoline.
Stainless steel exhaust systems will become a priority due to hydrogen's exhaust type being water.
As for my claim that the oil companies squelched new patents on more fuel efficient equipment, there is no proof that can be readily accessed for public viewing. If you ran a big oil company...
How deep would you bury that kind of damning information?
Look how deep Tesla's inventions and research got buried by the "
