That's expensive as well!  But it is interesting.  I didn't know that in '81 the 4.9L, 5.0L, & 5.8L had an MCU.  Dad's '81 w/a 5.8L 351M sure didn't.  I guess that was in California?  And/or in cars?

The 4.9L was for trucks, only.

True, so some truck had the MCU.  Gotta be CA.

Yes, 1980 was the last year for vacuum controlled emissions in California as in 1981 they started putting the MCU in the trucks.
