Message: Nice, but I'll take the '57 Rambler Rebel with the 327 Bendix fuel injection! "The Rebel was tested by Motor Trend, which found that when equipped with the Bendix “Electrojector” electronic fuel injection (EFI), this sedan was faster from a standing start than the 1957 Chevrolet Corvette with mechanical fuel injection. This was to have been the first production engine with fuel injection; however, it did not materialize because of cold-weather starting problems. At least two pre-production Rebels with EFI are known to have been built. All of the production Rebels used a four-barrel carburetor. Nevertheless, the EFI option remained in the published owner’s manual." I drove my bosses '57 Rebel with the four barrell carb back in the day and it was a rocket when compared to most other domestic cars.
