So you are older than me.

I started driving in 2000, but I was poor trailer trash, so my first three cars had carburetors. (1975 Chevy pickup and two 1984 Camaros)

My mustang was my first car, so EEC-IV is pretty much what I cut my teeth on. Only took me ~20 years to figure it out.

Ok, I lied, I owned a 85GT ttops parts car that never ran with the carb. Took the engine out, stuffed it in an 88LX with EFI and then sold off the body. Really wish I kept that roller, but It was hard enough to keep my own '88 stored somewhere, let alone two Fox bodies.

I converted a 1988 hatchback to carb. It is a track only car. Please let me know if you have any questions about the conversion. It was pretty easy and I still have all my parts sources.
