What is the smog equipment part between the carburetor and intake manifold on a 1982 Ford Fairmont Futura straight six engine called?

call any batter shop and they will be able to tell you in less than a minute or as fast as a computer brings up the details
it will take a 12 volt batter around 600 cca but the shop will get it exact

Short of a Haynes or Chilton repair manual for pickups covering your year's truck, I don't know if you could find a vacuum diagram easily on the internet. However a google search might give you a strand of hope. That was about the year that ford (and all of them to be sure, to some extent or another) went crazy with vacuum controlled emissions and operations. As soon as they grudgingly accepted fuel injection over carburetors as the reality, all those crazy vacuum diagrams disappeared. They met emission regulations through better computer management operations. Sigh, I'm still reliving the nightmare of electronically controlled carburetors (feedback carburetors, as your ford is called-works real good when it is working good) via my 1987 sentra with two solenoids in the carburetor for fuel-air mixture control- now I'm looking for a replacement carburetor. You would not believe the virtual array of vacuum lines on my sentra. They even included a long stack of metal tubes across the top of the engine, lol.

Anyway, by now that truck is so old, what do you need beyond the brake booster hose, the vacuum advance to the distributor, if you have a MAP sensor equipped, that is a straight manifold tap, and then a tap for the egr valve, maybe controlled by a thermal switching valve-you know, when the coolant is hot, the valve switches air, or vacuum really, to the egr valve. Your charcoal canister would have, I think, a manifold vacuum hose. I might be missing a few, but you might be able to struggle through it. If you have a working smog pump, maybe called an air pump, you will really need a vacuum diagram. There should be several older ford truck enthusiasts forums that you could join. Somebody would surely have it.

The firing order for a Ford straight 6 is ( 1 - 5 - 3 -6 - 2 - 4 ) the distributor rotation is clockwise.

ignition module or electric choke

2 possible solutions: Either pick up the Haynes manual from local parts store or Amazon.com or stop by local Ford dealer - parts dept should be able to provide or make you a copy of wiring diagram. Diagrams are getting hard to find free these days online and even harder for older cars.

None. Yes I said it right, None. Belive it or not in 1976 trucks were not required converters, air pumps and could run on leaded or unleaded gas. Man I've been doing this too long and I'm getting old.

Is it a v6 or straight six? The 302 should bolt up to the trans. but if the engine is a straight six you will need a different k member. I hope this helps.

Check idle air control valve and leakage.

Sir,
There are two firing order sequences for the FORD V-6. It depends on which engine you have. The first is 1-4-2-5-3-6. The second is 
1-4-2-3-5-6. The in-line six cylinder engines use: 1-5-3-6-2-4. You should look at the intake manifold to see which firing order your car uses. The firing order is normally stamped or embossed on the top of the intake manifold.
