Default Weird finding...

When I bought my car, I was informed that it was a twin turbo car that was converted back to a stock 5L, so I expected a few things to be wrong.

I didn't, however, in my journey of a carb swap, expect to find a computer labeled 3.0L Taurus/Sable Only. It's an EEC-IV, like normal, but this thing ran like a raped ape with a 3.0L computer in it.

Wouldn't all the strategies be different?
