An old classic car without computers is looking better and better. I can learn carbs.

No need to go that far back, basic ECU fuel injectors + o2 sensors work perfectly fine without telemetry and are WAY more reliable than carburetors.

I don't like the ECU and sensors having the potential to make the car not run, but they do tend to make things more efficient and powerful at the same time.

If you don't like that, you'll really hate carbs not letting a car start.
Having grown up working on carb engines, you can pry my EFI from my cold, dead, intake.
Recently helped a friend with a simple 2 bbl carb issue. Ffs, carbs are black magic. They're really impressive 19th century engineering... It's amazing what those guys came up with to address changing conditions.

Carbs suck too. But electronics have a limited lifespan and are not easy to work on. On my 1995 F-150 an airbag module (circuit board thing) malfunctioned, and no one is making new ones. I needed it working to pass mandatory state inspection. Had to get a new module from a junkyard and it luckily worked, but that isn't viable long-term. Carbs, as much trouble as they are, are viable long-term.
