Depends what you want to spend. Your existing system can have a quality
rebuild for about $1500. Any new system like AFS is likely to cost you
more. The Bendix system generally will go 2000 hrs or 12 yrs (aka tBO)
between overhauls.
If you overhaul it, suggest you send to shop servo, flow divider,
injection lines and the injectors. That way they can assure you have
uniform flow to all cylinders and all works as designed.

The fine folks at AFP can overhaul your Bendix components. And Don
Rivera's (the AFP brains) normally suggests that for simplicity, in a
situation as yours that you overhaul the Bendix and not install AFP.

I thought I'd do a "me too" post and agree with what Dale said. I had a
friend (RV-7 builder) who had an old Bendix system and was trying to
decide whether to overhaul that, or buy a new Airflow system. The Bendix
fuel controller was in _rough_ shape. Real rough. In fact, it looked
like it had been through a fire.
Don worked through the numbers for him and from a $$$ perspective
encouraged my friend to go the overhaul route since it would be cheaper.
Airflow is a FAA certified Bendix repair and overhaul center and
absolutely know what they are doing with these systems.
Ya just can't go wrong with Don and Airflow Performance. I say that
having no affiliation with AFP than as a very happy customer.
