Ford Van ad in yesterday's newspaper.

The ad says, Ford Van 1987 runs good.$1400.
Do those 1987 Ford vans have carburetors? If so, I might be interested in calling that local phone number. cuhulin

Depends on the engine and whether it's light duty or heavy duty.
All but the diesel and 460 HD have engine control computers.

I might plug in my land line phone and ask about that 1987 Ford van.Carburetor, OK, I hope it's a two barrel carburetor van. I don't want anything to do with anything throttle body, or fuel injection.If it's a diesel engine, I will forget that yesterday. cuhulin
