Because of health issues Byrne is hanging up his hat. I spoke with him today. He said they still have inventory and seemed open to orders but said he would have someone else taking care of the process.

Some of us, such as myself, prefer carburetion over fuel injection. While there are many possible reasons to prefer one over the other here are my personal reasons for preferring carburetion:
1. Simplicity (why make something more complicated than it needs to be)
2. Ease of adjustment / repair.
3. Lower fuel pressures.
4. Reliability.
5. Cost.
Perhaps my paradigms and preferences on fuel delivery are based upon the fact that I started working on cars in the mid 1990s. The carbed cars of the 70's and early 80's that I worked on were generally simple and easy to service with basic tools. The same couldn't be said for the fuel injected cars. For that very reason, my current daily driver is an 1985 Oldsmobile Toronado, with a carbed 307 V8. :-)
For the record, my carbed DeLorean is running a dual Solex system sourced from a 1977 Peugeot 604.

Just browsed over to Byrne's website and it appears to be operational again. Only a few products being offered, but the most important and probably most ordered ones
