Unless it is a CA emissions truck, it is not an electronic carb. The '86 has an electrical connection, but it isn't controlled by a computer. I believe it is a solenoid, controlled by engine temperature, that is used for the accelerator pump.

I might have some of those details wrong, but it should be pretty close.

Yours should have a small harness that goes to a sensor on the thermostat housing and somewhere else.
