Would an 80 Bronco with a 302 have a carburetor or some sort of injection or otherwise electronic control? I've owned F150s and various Broncos since the mid 70s but have never owned anything between the years 80-86 except an 84 Mark VII...and it had some electronic gizmo. Also...how much computer control would the engine have had? I've got a chance to buy a plain jane one that's not a total rust bucket. The gal says it's a "stick shift"...would it be an NP435 like my 78 had or something else?

An '80 Bco would have a 2bbl

EFI didn't make it into the Bronco till '86.

Don't know what transmission Ford was using in 80.

I think it would have either the np435 or the borg-warner t18. They also came with a tremec 4spd with over drive. The engine for that era would only have the ford dura spark ignition as far as electronics go. otherwise its the same as your 78 electrical wise.
