Finished the transformation:
'87 f150
Intake manifold and stock carb off a '79 f100
Ditributor/coil(12V)/module off an '83 f150
Electric fuel pump.
Used stock efi exhaust manifold - had to trim both manifolds slightly so they would fit together. Far back manifold bolt doesn't touch manifold - shimmed it.
Plugged several vacuum ports in carb and spacer block (and intake manifold). Manual choke cable - manual choke had already been installed on carb previously. Made a temporary accelerator cable bracket - efi cable and '79 bracket don't match up.
Disconnected high pressure pump and installed 5.5 to 9.0 psi electric pump.
Distributor - one out, one in. Timing for #1 TDC is on the passenger side of the block (look like teeth, not the #'d marks on the timing gear cover) Timing mark on damper is very small (not the big notch).
Wiring harness - GOOD LUCK! Tracing wire colors can be a pain, to say the least. I am now EEC free though. (Took 2 days to do everything else - took 3 days to get the harness hooked in right!)
I still need to redo the exhaust and fine tune the timing and carb. (may overhaul the carb eventually) but it runs well enough already.
