I converted mine using a HELP! kit from O'Reilly's a few weeks ago. I believe it was about 10 bucks. I changed mine to manual since half the automatic choke essentials were missing and it kept getting stuck shut, flooding it. I am a pretty big novice to automotive work, and it took me about 1 1/2 hours.

yeah my 87 300 straight 6 is Multi Port Fuel Injected. you could get a 302 EFI in 86 as an Option my Mother had one but in 87 both the 302 and 300 came Standard Equiped with Multi Port Fuel Injection

for the record my '85 originally was EFI...now it's got a 2brl.
manual choke...i belive the hardest part is probly gonna be finding a place to mount the thing on the interior but it shud'nt be any problem really.

yeah but wasn't it that CFI not MPFI I'd have to look it up it may have also been optional to have mpfi on a 302 in 85 but I don't think so I will endeavor to find out though
