Although 1985 was the last year for a carburetor for the 5.0, I wouldn't call them simple.
From 1984 - 1985, the 5.0/302 had a feedback carburetor. Like electronic fuel injection, these models used an engine computer to control all emissions, ignition timing, and the air/fuel mixture via the feedback carburetor. So these models are somewhat complicated compared to the earlier models prior to 1984.
Some California models used a more primitive form of electronic engine control as far back as 1980, so watch out for those as well.
