Well, since the Chevelle is back to running, I figured I would start posting back to my Megasquirt thread. Right now, the car is running on MS-II (1.3, early MS-II w/ green PCB) using a 2.2 main board. The distributor is an MSD Pro-Billet, connected to my 6AL via the green/purple wires. When I had t...

Anthony stopped over tonight and he wanted to see/hear it run. So, while he was here, I took the opportunity to put load on the engine and have him watch the gauge. Pressure did not drop. Hardly the end-all-be-all test, but it seems like a good sign.

Did you feel your Chupposity level increasing? What is different about the fuel supply - is that problem resolved? My increased Chupposity is probably why it started on the first try! As for the fuel supply, I don't know that I'll have an answer about that until I can really put a load on the engin...

Just little stuff at this point. I never got the ignition control fully functional with the carb. I got close, and will try to figure out what I'm doing wrong there. I still need to put the wideband oxygen sensor back in and verify that it works properly. After that, I just have wiring cleanup under...

Big progress this weekend -- I'm up and running on EFI again! I got the intake changed over last night. It was a piece of cake, really. It would've been even easier if I had a 12-point 3/8" socket. I had to use a wrench instead. GM's Vortec intake gaskets are re-usable, so you only have to scra...

That's an 89 TPI, which I believe was the last year for MAF on TPI V8s, so that's a possibility. Doing the tap-on-sensor test is easy enough.

Another possibility to consider is the IAC motor

I've been making progress on my ignition control project. I even tasted limited success this evening -- I had Megasquirt controlling the timing. I'm running the Pro-Billet distributor. The two wires coming out it are directly from the VR sensor (Variable Reluctor). I have these hooked the the P &...

The OD trans is that '90 has a code designation, but I cant think of it. It's basically a th400 with an OD from what I understand. The '74 is in Euclid. I can look at it after work if anyone is really interested. -BP I wanna buy it just because it seems like a good deal, but there are so many other...

What diameter is that sway bar? If 1.25". that makes a nice upgrade for a Chevelle.
