That's what the MSD type box was made forWhich if paired with the correct dizzy from a truck 351 will work for his project.
I used and MSD dizzy and box and called it a day.
Only the ones with manual transmissions..... automatics were efi.So I thought ‘85 GT’s were carbureted I.e. no ECU?
I would disagree as my EX wife and looked at these when they were new.... Last year of Carb, was a big selling feature to me....Only the ones with manual transmissions..... automatics were efi.
Oh I didnt even know I thought the ECU still would have controled the timing/coil. Thanks for this haha!So I thought ‘85 GT’s were carbureted I.e. no ECU?
Nope. Just carbureted that I'm aware of.So were the ‘85 autos CFI with an EEC-III?
I vaguely recall something of that nature and if it was relegated to Auto cars, I think it might also have been relegated to California cars.Some are saying the auto cars were injected hence my question.
That is correct.... a DuraSpark II system. Again, that is on carb'ed cars only though.I think the 85 may be a Duraspark type ignition system if carbed,
No. '85's with slushboxes, which used the 2 barrel CFI, came with an EEC-IV managed DuraSpark III system.So were the ‘85 autos CFI with an EEC-III?
Yes, that's correct about the CFI being relegated to AOD cars only. But it had nothing to do with Cali versus 49-state cars.I vaguely recall something of that nature and if it was relegated to Auto cars, I think it might also have been relegated to California cars.
The "F" Code engines were for the AOD equipped cars. The bottom "M" Code engine was for the T-5 manual cars. The middle "M" Code (EFI) engine listed there was never used in the '85 Mustang.I found this:
What I don't see is the who, what, when, where, and why for the "F Code" cars.
Most threads concerning CFI cars are about how to convert [away] from the restrictive 2 bbl CFI.
I also saw some discussion about the CFI cars being non-roller but I don't know if that's true.
Question: If the last "F" engine code was 1983, why do I see multiple references to a 1985 "F" code?85GTStangGuy is correct on all counts, except the "F" engine code. Both 1984, the first year for 5.0L with CFI in the Capri/Mustang, and 1985 model years were engine code "M" for either the CFI/AOD or the 4V/T-5 combo. Last year for the "F" engine code was 1983.
Thanks for the clarification/correction on that.85GTStangGuy is correct on all counts, except the "F" engine code. Both 1984, the first year for 5.0L with CFI in the Capri/Mustang, and 1985 model years were engine code "M" for either the CFI/AOD or the 4V/T-5 combo. Last year for the "F" engine code was 1983.
