    It looks like a mechanical injection system. I see 8 fuel hoses at a block on the right and no sign wires.

    Looks like a knock-off of a Hilborn constant-flow set up to me. Incredible power compared to carbs, and very simple to understand once you do a little homework. This type set-up dates all the way back to the 30's and 40's in various forms and won races like Indy for decade after decade. It is mechanical, uses an engine-driven pump and a "pill" to regulate the fuel flow. Really cool. The only thing better would be a timed set-up like the Lucas Mark II...Ahhh, the sound; ahhh, the throttle response!!!

    Yeah but it has a very on/off kind of a feel to it if it's like Hillborn. It doesn't do part throttle settings well.

    Exactly. The timed Lucas system has the best throttle response imaginable! Hilborn is simpler, and more suited to mostly wide-open-throttle applications. Still better than carbs and float bowls, etc...
