1984 Thunderbird FILA June 24, 2006, 11:35:32 AM This is my 84' Fila. It's not in the best shape as the engine harness has 2 chunks missing from the preivious owner. Also it's not easy to find a replacement harness for the 5.0 (302) CFI Bullshiznit efi this car has. But i', also thinking of goin to a 2300 carb.She is my baby though and I'm trying to " restore with style". Let me know of any idea's , hate mail, or anything else. P.S. I'm new. Quote Selected

Cleaner harness, still EFI and no need to so a "full" EFI swap on it. Quote Selected
