Computer controlled?
I have 1986 f150 5.8l with carberator. The truck has a fender mounted ignition control module. Is it a duraspark 2 or 3? Is this truck also EEC IV controlled or not? Trying to buy some ignition parts. thanks

If the grommet where the wires exit the module are brown, that would be a DS 3 system with the EEC 3 system. I believe they were California only and used during 1981-83. DS 2 modules would have a blue or yellow grommet.In 1986 there should be a blue grommetted Durospark 2 on your truck.

It would be much easier to help you if you posted pics of the truck. More pics is better. Outside, inside, underside, engine bay from several angles... Click this, read the caption, follow the relevant links, and each time you learn something about your truck, edit it into your signature:

If you don't have one, you should get a Haynes manual, and eventually read it cover-to-cover at least once:
