[Caleb 351W]

Hey, how's it going, everyone? I'm Caleb; I heard about this site from a Facebook group. I currently have a 1985 F150 XLT Lariat with a 351W 2WD. I am currently trying to get it started again. The wiring from the person before is a rat's nest. The diagrams I've found all say there's an ECM, which I can't find, and people have told me there isn't one. The disturber appears to be adjusted wrong; I will do more research to see if my theory is correct.

Welcome!  Glad you joined.  

The ECU should be in a bracket roughly above the gas pedal.

Where's home?  We have a map, which you can see at Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu, and I can add you with a city/state or zip.

Welcome Caleb!
351H.O. will have a 4 barrel carb and an ignition box on the driver's inner fender.

Is there a vacuum hose going to the distributor?

My bad.  I wasn't reading fully.  My excuse is that the back screw came out of a drawer track in the pantry and the drawer went too far back and would NOT come out.  So I was frustrated and not paying attention.  

But more and bigger screws are now in all the tracks and all is good.  

Yes, an HO has no ECU.  Just DS-II and a 4bbl.  (Sounds like a song.)

"wasn't reading fully"

For some of us that's a full-time thing... and ADHD is often an excuse.. but more likely just jumping to conclusions
(Strictly speaking for myself)
Btw, Welcome Caleb!!
