Hey guys I have a question about the ford 302 that came with the mustang. I don't know much about the engine so exuse my foolish question about it.

Is the engine electronicly fuel injected ?? Which years was it carb vs EFI ?? or was the 5L ever EFI ??

Hopefully you guys can help as You've answered my questions in the past

True EFI started in 1986, but it had CFI (central fuel injection) in Automatic 5.0L 1984/85.

What year is your Mustang? Earlier cars were carburated, later CFI, later with speed density/EFI, later mass air/EFI. '88 California cars had mass air whereas everywhere else sold speed density.
