Hey, how's it going, everyone? I'm Caleb; I heard about this site from a Facebook group. I currently have a 1985 F150 XLT Lariat with a 351W 2WD. I am currently trying to get it started again. The wiring from the person before is a rat's nest. The diagrams I've found all say there's an ECM, which I can't find, and people have told me there isn't one. The disturber appears to be adjusted wrong; I will do more research to see if my theory is correct.

Caleb.

Welcome! Glad you joined.

The ECU should be in a bracket roughly above the gas pedal.

Where's home? We have a map, which you can see at Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu, and I can add you with a city/state or zip.

Welcome Caleb!
351H.O. will have a 4 barrel carb and an ignition box on the driver's inner fender.

Is there a vacuum hose going to the distributor?

My bad. I wasn't reading fully. My excuse is that the back screw came out of a drawer track in the pantry and the drawer went too far back and would NOT come out. So I was frustrated and not paying attention.
