computers
I'm still working on getting my '87 to run since doing a compression test on it. But out of curiosity, if a computer goes bad in one of these older vehicles where do you get a replacement for it? Not saying mine is bad since I haven't done enough testing but I'm curious as to how you deal with that situation.

Other members have found the Cardone branded PCMs are not truly tested. It's a crap shoot whether the replacement will be a good one or not. Replacements from NAPA have been pretty reliable from the reading I have found on this and other Ford truck related sites over the past few years.
On another note I frequently see ads on this site when viewing questions about our computers. I'm sure there is some gizmo that targets keywords, but my point is I do see ads for replacement PCMs from time to time on this site from other vendors.
