When you see a distribution spool mounted in the center of the engine

with a

1/8" line running to each cylinder head, that is constant flow fuel

injection.

A positive displacement sliding vane pump fuel pump is gear driven from

the

accessory section so the output is a function of RPM. There is

additional

control offered by a valve controlled from the cabin (mixture) and I

believe

another controlled by a diaphragm and spring to help account for

altitude.

There are similar systems available for V8 engines, like Hilborne,

Endrell

and others.
As far as I know any Continental injected engine is this system. Look at

any

Bonanza.

For a true "constant dribble" experience - some recent cars had
"throttle body injection" - pull the cleaner off one of those and watch i
at idle - 'timed port" gets my vote. direct injection has many of the
unmixed
combustion problem that you see in Diesels - Vance
