Yeah, that looks much better. I remember my '85 had some hemorrhage looking thing sitting on the fender with multiple hoses going to it.1985 LTD Crown Victoria - SOLD

Yeah there was a large check valve contraption there with three 3/4" hoses going into it and a couple of vacuum solenoids.Originally posted by DerekTheGreat View PostComment

the plumbing and controls is pretty much the same EEC-III vs EEC-IV. Slightly different parts but they do the same job and its all a big clusterfuck.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

I did not miss any of that stuff when I took it off the 88 I had.

it managed to be even uglier on the CFI cars. For whatever reason you got the bypass and diverter valves on the fender as well as the control solenoids. by the SEFI era it was just the control solenoids and the other stuff sort of hung in space by the hoses.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

I was able to find this pic online of what it looked like before.

Yup... that's the CF I was thinking of.

Looks a bit different than the mess I had on my '85 CFI, TAD/TAB solenoids look a bit different, MAP sensor too.
What are those relays next to the blower motor?Comment

'84 and '85 CFI is EEC IV, pickup coil in distributor with TFI module so I imagine other things changed as well. '80-'83 CFI was EEC III which has a crank position sensor and a duraspark module on the drivers fender. The distributor on EEC III is literally just hollow other than the rotor.Originally posted by Arquemann View PostComment

Does anyone know of an aftermarket manufacturer that makes an air filter housing with a 5-3/8" bore to fit the CFI throttle body? Everything I can find is 5-1/8".Comment

You'll probably have to buy a normal 5 1/8" air cleaner bottom and cut the hole a little larger.
Your only choices really are a factory CFI cleaner or to make an aftermarket cleaner fit.Comment
