I have a thing against posers. Nothing like the real thing.

'80 Mark VI here in Finland. Historic/museum vehicle status, pretty clean. Engine bay has some interesting stuff, dual soup cans, no vacuum advance, odd starter relay and a different location for cruise servo. Could do some wiring cleanup, doesn't look all original. Would be a sharp cruiser.
Too bad the colour scheme is just hideous...

I feel like that particular setup is stuck somewhere between 3502 miles of vacuum hose and carburetors and EFI. I think that's a pretty accurate description of EEC III.1990 Country Squire - weekend cruiser, next project

No vacuum advance is because that is an EEC-III CFI setup. Duraspark ignition (so no module on the distributor) with computer controlled timing (so no vacuum advance).
The cruise servo is in a non-original location, but maybe that's normal for EEC-III. It isn't the normal location for a 1983 Town Car as a comparison, but the one of those I've been around was a factory carb car with no ECM/MCU/etc.
Neat car.
