Some carb's had electronic controls. Simply remove the computer, change the carb and distributor to make it all better.

If you have an 1985 GT that came factory with the HolleyCarb (5 Spd) it wasnt computer controlled. I dont know what other parts might require it. If the car was originally a CFI (Auto) then it was computer controlled.
