Doesn't look too bad, says engine overhauled....could be a good thing or bad thing depending on who did it and how well it was done. It has a C3 or C5 automatic in it, so that would alleviate the dang A4LD gremlins LOL. Its a carbureted engine so no fuel injection troubles, it has a mechanical fuel pump on the engine block, so no in-tank pump replacement fun. $6k isn't too bad I guess considering its a body on frame SUV that's mostly mechanically operated. The computer in it didn't control much, it was more emissions related than engine management.
Computer controls the timing and air/fuel ratio same as EFI.
It basically combines all the downsides of EFI (electrical/vacuum crap to fail) and all the carbureted fun you can stand with neither the reliablitly of EFI or simplicity of carburation.
