?'s on the stock computer. July 09, 2006, 11:13:04 PM My car is an 83 Heritage 302 T-Bird with I beleive the CFI injection. and I want to put a cam and intake and carb on it. What else will I have to change. Better yet what does that computer really do. I know that I have to get a fuel regulator because of the carb. I also want to put an MSD 6A that I have laying around in it. Please help me out and give me some feedback. Thank You. Quote Selected
?'s on the stock computer. Reply #1 – July 10, 2006, 10:01:00 AM The computer operates the CFI fuel injection, AFIK thats all it does... There are no parts to upgrade the EEC-III system... A carb or later system would be your choices.. Quote Selected

Your current distributor has no stator or PIP pick-up in it. The EEC-III uses a crankshaft position sensor.The EEC may also control the fuel pump, not sure though. Quote Selected

I thank you all for your input. Things to buy- Distributor, Intake, Carb. And wire up the pump to a switch or keyed source and a regulator. Thanks again for everything. Quote Selected

Reply #6 – July 12, 2006, 02:49:29 AM leave the EEC, it will provide power to the fuel pump for you , then add your regulator as required in the engine bay.Next up, i would use a points distributor and your existing coil.The EECIII system and knowledge about it is very hard to come by,, here is a link to someone else asking questions as well,,,,,,,http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-243403-1982%20EEC%20III%20loses%20sparkmight help you get going. Google EECIIIthink that would be it, sorry if i missed anything. Careful on the size carb,, not too big now:D Quote Selected
