Can my 84 be ECC-4 controlled?

I'm pretty sure there are no computer controls on your car. However, around this timeframe, Ford was doing a lot of crazy things and mix/matching the induction system and computer system. I had a carbureted 84 2.3 auto that had an EEC-IV. It took the rotor of an '85, and the distributor cap of a non-computer-controlled '84.

Easiest way to find out? Pop open the passenger side kick panel and see if there's a brainbox in there....

In any event, as long as you live in a non-emissions-controlled area, you should be able to rewire the car wth no problems. If you have a computer and you remove it, though, that's a smog check no-no.

Yea, I live in CA...California, not Canada. No computer in the spot you mentioned...I think I'm in good shape. I just have to find a CARB II approved ignition and I should be in business.

Ooo... smog nazi central. Definately wouldn't want to be removing any computer controls there.

Is the MSD 6A box CARB II approved? I thought it was originally CARB approved... didn't know about the new approval?

I don't see why the high-powered multi-spark boxes wouldn't be approved - they burn more of the gas, which is what emissions restrictions is all about anyway.

Everything I've seen says it is...that' the one I had my eye on. Good guess!
