I have a bad feeling you have EEC-III CFI??? could be the ignition module... try to see if you have spark when it wont start.Pete ::::>>> resident LED addict and CFI defector LED bulb replacements

That would be a good plan. I'd go with a 4bbl carb, even the stock Ford 4bbl will be fine for a stock engine.88 Town Car (wrecked, for sale)

Maybe a crank position sensor if I had to take a random guess. EEC III CFI uses a CPS and a duraspark box for ignition. If the CPS goes, it will get random spark, probably wont get injector pulse, and will generally run retarded.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

If you really need the car to drive "right now", doing a carb swap is not the way I would go at all.
Like Pete said, check for spark when it wont start. Mine used to stall out alot until I changed the TPS sensor. It would always fire right back up tho when it did stall.

Check the small connector that should be coming off of the -neg battery cable. if it pops loose the comp wont work and let it run.

What about the coil? Any chance of that being the problem?Comment
-
Maybe. Do duraspark systems use a ballast resistor or a resistor wire maybe? If so, that could also be an issue. Coils have been known to break down when hot. I actually remember our boat dying once, and we fixed it by icing the coil down in the cooler, then wrapping it in ice to get us home.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

No offense, but if you aren't going to bother to troubleshoot the existing issue, I don't know if ripping the car apart to change to a totally different fuel system is the best idea. You're going to need to drop the tank, remove the fuel pump (or pumps, some have 2) and build yourself a pickup. The fuel lines need to be modded to work for a mechanical fuel pump, and the timing cover probably needs to be changed. You need a duraspark distributor, and ignition module. The intake needs to change, and most of the wiring needs to be removed. You need to locate the ignition wiring and tie it in as needed. Its a lot of work, and if the motor is not in good condition, its probably not worth the bother. Its going to cost more to do a carb conversion than to fix the existing stuff to function untill you're really ready to do a motor build in this car.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Amen to that!Originally posted by gadget73
Dont kid yourself, you do not just bolt on the carb and intake and go. It is a big PITA if you dont know what your getting yourself into. No offense mang, but if you dont have the patience or the ability to fix your car now, what are you gonna do when your carb swap doesnt work. They take alot of tuning and work to get them running right enough to start using them as a daily driver.

The cheapest, as others have said, is to fix what you have now.Comment
