Looking goos I told you it would go togather well.

Nice work! lets see/hear it go...
are others running this ecu in TDs yet?
i guess having a carb'd car meant you could pretty much leave all the original harness alone
Hey heath, if you need some long distance tuning and log deciphering( or just plain old cipherin!) hit me up! the 0.5" fuel rail will be fine. get your supports all measured up and i can cut those out on teh cnc as well as bore it. i'm doing some cool stuff, so i'm pretty busy, just let me know with some advance, eh?

Well, the two high current ignition drivers went in just fine. No complaints whatsovever. Now I need to upload the MSNScode and all should be ready to wire. Luckily I have 12 foot of wire marked every 6 inches. SWEET!! I put the appropriate jumpers in, and wires needed for the two VB921's and 2 330ohm resistors. Now I need to get to work on the neon sensors, and reconfiguring the carbed L body harness for a Neon alternator. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!
Very cool. Wish I had your electronic abilities.

are you just running an external VR?

assuming mopar VR, all you need is one feild to each of the VR wires, the blue one on the VR(top middle of the triangle shaped plug) splices to a key switched. I just ran it to the fuse box so it doesnt work when cranking
All I need for the relay board is a switched power source, 12Vconstant, and ground. I want to keep from chopping up the carbed harness as much as I can. Although I know I will need to change the alternator plugs to the Stratus style.
Other than that I just need to tap into a 12V switched really, as I am going to run the ground to the frame, and the 12V constant to the battery.
So could I just splice into the VR then for the 12V switched?

I'm not sure what exactly you mean?
You could(just fuse it for sure) What does it control?
I ran all new stuff on mine cause I deleted all the engine wiring and started fresh.
I had to go back under the dash to find 3 diff switched sources.
1 that was only on when key all the way forward(cranking) for the starter(and relay).
Another that was on anytime the key is in run, for coils/injectors/fuel pump/SDS computer/wideband o2(doesnt loose power)
then I already had my gauges to a diff key switched(from fuse box)
and then got another from fuse box for the VR
the fuse box has power when the key is in run but when you go to crank it loses power till the key goes back to run.
OH! Well, the relay board holds fan relays, fuel pump relays, and all the wiring for the megasquirt controlled items. It really simplifies the installation. So, I am going to run a stock carned GLH harness so I can use all the normal functions, horn, lights, wipers, etc. and just take a 12V from the batery, frame ground, and the 12V switched. The relay board is fused as well.

yeah I looked it up and saw a setup diagrahm. You'll deff need the one thats allways on for those things, I found it in a wire comming from the steering column, but since you still have the harness I'm pretty sure you could look at a diagrahm and get it from where the ASD relay was/is
how much do you have in the megasquirt?
If I were to do another car(not that I need one) I would use this setup
I am having software upgrade issues. More updates as soon as I sort them out.
Well, I finally sorted out my programming issues. I had to load the MSnS E firmware through the hyperterminal, and the directions on the megamanual site weren't exact. Anyway, I got it loaded and now the programming is correct, all I have to do is start plugging in variables. That starts tomorrow.
WWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Sounds like its going well,next time im up that way you will have 2 clamps at your house.
