I do think you would need electronic ignition and an electric fuel pump, even for an open loop system like the Holley. The Pertronix drop-in unit would likely function nicely with the system, and I think it would be a fun mod. The TBI systems are essentially computer controlled carbs, so as long as you matched to displacement and CFM, I think you'd be fine.

In the bench racing category, I would like to build a 1937 Packard 115 coupe with either a mildly turbo-charged six or a later eight fitted in with a hot cam and maybe forced induction. Obviously not stock, but it would be nearly all Packard. Fun to think about.
