Chrysler SAID NO. This Tiny Volkswagen Made Them REGRET It!

In 1958, Chrysler launched an electronic fuel injection system years ahead of its time. See why dealers ripped it out. The Bendix Electrojector used an electronic computer to fire eight injectors, mirroring the systems in modern cars. Dealers quickly pulled these systems out to reinstall carburetors due to reliability issues and high costs, causing the innovation to disappear from American roads. This forgotten chapter of Chrysler history highlights the risks of pushing boundaries before the supporting infrastructure existed. The patent eventually traveled to Germany, where Bosch refined the concept. This shift in automotive engineering allowed the humble Volkswagen to become the first mass-produced vehicle to successfully utilize electronic fuel injection, proving the original concept was simply decades ahead of the market. #Chrysler #Hemi #FuelInjection #ClassicCars #MuscleCars #musclecarmasters #musclecarmasterschannel 0:00 The Forgotten Computer Under the Hood 1:22 Sutton's Brainchild: The Electrojector 5:02 Why the System Quietly Disappeared 8:41 How Bosch Perfected the American Vision 10:58 The Legacy of a 1950s Pioneer 1.
