OK the CFI pissed me off real good this time.

[Grand Marquis GT]

And I want my damn car to run.

Time for a carb swap. HEres the list of parts:

Motorcraft 2bbl like GL has (220 bucks)
some sort of fuel filter with a reulator, and a return (20)
And I may be able to run EEC-IV ignition for awhile. Trust me on this one.
But eventually Ill make the swap to duraspark.

[Grand Marquis GT]

Man, you guys love getting bad gas mileage, don't you? I understand the 2-bbl is a direct bolt on, but you'd get hella better gas mileage with a 4-barrel.

Tom, I'm interested to know how you're making the CFI ignition work with a carb. Everywhere I've read said you had to change to duraspark.

[Grand Marquis GT]

But that was before I messed with my car, and found that fuel and spark STAND ALONE...

As I recall hearing, supposedly the CFI ties into the ignition somehow. I just wonder how you're gonna make the dist work alone.

TPS does not effect spark curve. TFI and ECU should work independent of FI

I must have a diamond in the rough

sorry to hear its still not running Tom... would you ever think about taking it to a shop to let them check on it? It still may be something simple!

[Grand Marquis GT]

No fucking way.

Triumph rocks my socks off.

The 2bbl is fine.

Just get the 1981 T-bird carb, it's only got two vac lines you have to fuck with. I plugged one and used the other for my vac advance.
