Going carbd is easy just find a hot wire off your ignition to run a msd(or other) box for ignition and you can power a regular relay for your fuel pump.iI would run new fuel lines,I have a sumped gas tank that i ran some braided line to a inline filter/pump ,up to a fpr under the hood.Its really easy,i bought my car already carbed,but i had to redo everything over because i like it nice and clean.
I know that SOME of the '85 V8 cars were equipped with CFI (others were still carbed), but the 6 cylinder cars were CFI, too?
SMOKEDYA, looks like a great project. Might need paint, but if the chassis is all clear of rust I'd jump on that.
All 85's with the AOD were CFI, 5-speed cars were 4bbl carb
the V6 in 85 was the 3.8L CFI same as in the Thunderbird/Cougar/LTD II/etc
I know the older foxes with the inline 6 had a dif k member, i dont beleive the V6 cars did. No matter anyway, its getting swapped for a tubular.
You need none of the engine wiring if you are gonna run a carb. Ditch it all.
