Not sure what I've got

Hi...new to this. I bought a 1986 5L 5sp a couple of years ago. It has had a checkered past but has a future I hope. The engine is what I call custom, the wiring is a disaster. It runs but real rough, poor idle. Anyone know someone in Barrie, Orillia, Midland who could help me out with my mess.

Is the car carborated, or fuel Injected?

It is fuel injected. The mechanic I take it to knows like I do that the wiring is bad. There are wires and lines that go nowhere and such. Last year we gave it a tune up and it ran pretty well all summer. Both years I have owned it, It runs like crap out of storage but a tune up usually makes it go. Not this year. I may have someone to look at it but not sure yet. If I can't find it quickly I'm wondering about rewiring but I bet thats a few bucks.
