RE: IML: '81 WE'VE GOT PROBLEMS...

Your car is already pretty much there - it has to have a carburetor type
intake manifold and a fuel pump on it, so most of the EFI stuff is already
gone.  I don't know what you have for a distributor, but most likely you
have an ESA computer controlled distributor now - just pop the distributor
cap off and see if you have points in the distributor. If you do, it is NOT
electronic, most likely, otherwise it is electronic to the extent that the
non-EFI cars were - and that's fine - those were reliable cars, they just
didn't have all the performance and economy of the EFI cars, as I said
before.

Is there just a way to just remove ALL the electronic engine  
management stuff from the car? Could i just get it all set up,  
running like an earlier Imperial, without any of it? I'm guessing  
since the car is designed for it, that may not be possible, and if it  
was, probably not a good idea, but just thought i'd ask.
