sure i have just what you need on my 89. you will need a scrapped complete vechile.you need sensors, wiring, pcm,as well as intake-exhaust, complete with injectors and tb.as well as engine pipe for ego sensor, would be expensive.

I came to the conclusion (after many years and wasted dollars) that an 85 computer controlled carb will not work, (my Ford Mechanic addmitted as much), so I bought a 302HO crate motor, AFB, and trashed the 300/6. I bought my truck new and she only ran "right" for a year. After 6 years and 15K miles, I don't work on it anymore. Too bad the paint won't stick, but thats another matter. :-)

best fix for feedback carbs is get older non feedback carb.intake-exhaust manifolds with carb. and dist. and ing.module and wiring( convert it to non computer controlled)if that is legal for you .Carb. I6 engines used to run good and got better milage

Theres nothing wrong with it, but I don't have heat.. I am thinking of finding out what I can do with the mechanicals before I do other stuff.. I just bought it 6 weeks ago, and have only had to replace the fuel and air filters before driving it 6000km, and it worked really well
