Yes. but it will make several things not work the same. The catalytic converter is designed for the EFI & could be damaged by the conversion, not to mention the chance that you couldn't pass a smog test if necessary. The fuel pump would have to be changed, or modified to reduce the pressure or it would damage the float needle on any carburetor. The ignition timing would have to be refigured to compensate for the difference & the valve timing may even need to be moved a tooth or so.
A trip to the salvage yard or some on-line shopping might be more beneficial. There are also aftermarket EFI system add-ons in the performance catalogs that will adapt. There are some Ford Truck parts places on line that may be able to help also.
Dealers seem to do what is the easiest for them, helpful when it suits them so the part could be at another dealership so you may want to just check a few. I had the same problem with OEM parts & ended up buying from a dealer 30 states away online & got everything my local dealer said was not available..
good luck
Testimonial: "This is a start that I need. I think I will search for a used carb that will work like the old one. Thanks a bunch"
If it is the carbureted model, then check out the edlebrock & holly II carbs, autozone used to carry both as well as a few single barrel Ford carbs.
The adjuster is usually located beneath an aluminum inverted cap,. A small "freeze plug" design located at or near the base of the carb area & is used to adjust the fuel mix at low speeds.
It's better to look at a manual or a schematic of the carb if you don't easily recognize that is is just a protective cap. Its extremely thin aluminum.
You have to pierce it with a sharp screw & pull it out unless you've got a screwdriver that nearly fits it & you pry it out. You don't have to replace it, it's just there to keep you out. Again, good luck.

carburator flooding maybe not electronic but something about fuel return. No fuel injectors just a one barrel carb on a 1985 f150 straight 6. If not enough info I will call the shop back Monday. Thanks
carburator flooding, maybe not electronic but something about fuel return. Just a 1 barrel carb and other than idle adjustment I see no adjustments.
