Which ignition system?

Just wondering what type ignition system is on an 86 EB 351W Bronco? Is it an EEC igintion system or the duraspark? It has an ignition control box on the driver's side inner fender well. The mid eighties are a little gray for me on ignitions and computers and such. I am assuming there is not a computer on this truck. Am I wrong? The reason I ask is on another thread about getting it to run right, if I know exactly what I have I can research my problems a little better in the books and such. Any input much appreciated").

If the distributor has a vacuum line, then you have no computer.

If the dist does not have a vacuum line, then you do have a computer controlled engine.
