Simple question TBI

I am more savy with the older trucks (carbed), though I have an 04' F-150. But what i would like to know is; how to tell if my brothers 95' Eddie Bauer, 4x4, auto, 5.0L is a EFI or TBI. I'm sure it is much easier then I am making it but any and all help is much appreciated.

Thanks ahead of time,
Boomer

TBI was an early ford car setup or a chevy truck setup.
ford never put TBI on its broncos/trucks

Thanks, any suggestions of bolt on upgrades to help him get some more juice and maybe better mileage?

Exhaust upgrades help the V8's the most. (Love my short equal-length headers). Some will say better spark too (aftermarket coil and heftier wires). Personally, I set base timing a touch further BTDC than the recommended 8º... 10-11º wakes things up a bit. A good tune-up with HEGO (O2) sensor replacement will help an aging engine as well. I run Lucas fuel injector cleaner about once a month as well.
