Okay, if it's the truck in the sig, it says it's efi (electronic fuel injection). You'll know its a 4bbl by the massive air cleaner assembly and the holley carb sittin on the intake. If it's 2bbl its a Motorcraft (made by autolite). The ID tags are on the top of the carb. To get at them you will have to remove the air cleaner.

If its the truck in your signature, its fuel injected, no carburetor.

As far as I know the 88 351W were fuel injected.

Do you have a long tube or tubes that runs from the front of the intake over to a somewhat square box, on the drivers side, behind the battery, under the hood?

Or do you have a round air breather setting right on top of the motor?

ok just for you knowledge EFI mean Electronic fuel injection , which therefore means NO CARB, I looked at your picks and yes sure enough your truck is fuel injected , which again points back to the conclusion that your truck has NO CARB. If your truck did have a carb (Which it doesn't) there would not be that huge upper intake sticking above the pass. side fender. There was be a carb (once again, yours doesn't have a carb) in the center of a completely different looking mainfold. And just once more just so you know it is not a carbureted Motor (NO CARB), it is fuel injected (NO CARB). The EFI in your signature was my first clue but then after seeing your picture I was convinced.

Are you ok , I think that you are lacking a brain. Anyone who puts EFI in their signature as to be bragging about it and then asks if their truck has a 2 barrel or a 4 barrel tends to be more than a donkey , or should I say OF less than a donkey.

91 is right about your truck being EFI modru, unless you want to consider your throttle body assembly (the thing with the big rubber hoses going to) a carburator. in that case there is 2 inlets making it a 2 barrel in essence. But then again........What do i know.

Have fun with this one.

Dan.

well lets review the facts, i was told earlier on that efi didn't have a carb, well then damn thats all ineeded to know, i got it the first time. then you come in and start repeating it like im a retarded moron who can't understand it and you expect me to think of you in anyway other than thinking your a know it all jackarse. how the hell am i supposed to react?


edit: you know what im ending this right now, this is ridiculous. if you wish to keep up a childish flamewar then go to your nearest mirror and have fun. i asked a simple harmless question, that was answered, i asked another. im done, i apologize for insulting you but i only returned the favor. get it? got it? good.

No problem but I was only trying to help you , sometimes in my work people become confused and I have dealt with people like you a lot and I wanted to make sure you weren't confused. Just trying to help , and I am sorry if I offended you I was just trying to keep it simpler and explain things on a lower level as I sometimes have to.

people like me? i don't get confused easily. im not majoring in computer science because im stupid. im sure that if i was explaining to you something about computers i would have to go to a lower level and try to make it plain english, but i either have a carb or don't and i don't. see wasn't that simple. no one should ever have to go lower level with me, if i don't quite understand something ill speak up, im not a moron when it comes to engines. i just happened to take an aerospace class for fun and not an automotive one. plan on taking an automotive class later if i can fit it in.
