Let me start here by saying im not selling anything.
Im not even installing in a e body.
If anyone has any interest in this Im willing to document the process. Im just seeing if there is enough interest to post how to do it. I have read where people have done 95 and below but I think the dl-16 connector(obd2 plug) will be informative in a lot of areas. I have already started my pinouts and have I have about 20 pages of notes that will simplify the work needed to be done. The vehicle will be a 73 dodge d-100 custom. The donor vehicle is a 99 Dodge Dakota 5.2l. Before you say 5.2l why? well im bored. Im a mechanic for a living. I do a little side work. A friend of mine wanted me to put a trans in his truck and couldn't find one. So he bought a wrecked parts truck for 400$ and had it towed to the house. Trans is in and he is happy and gone. He said anything I want off the truck I can have so the Hamster started running on the wheel. The project truck is mine I have owned since I was 18 and parked 10 years ago and ive been meaning to do something with it and it hit me. Lets do a total MPI swap to the 73 truck.
So I have 20 pages of notes. I have the engine wiring harness on my kitchen table. I have figured out the pinouts for connector c105 and c106 and c1, c2 and c3 of the pcm. Btw enigine will run without c3 even plugged in as long as you bypass the asd circuit and power up the fuel pump relay.
I have already proved I can run the vehicle only using the pcm outputs and inputs without using any of the other can bus modules. There will be codes for bus communication modules. Im looking to use the Obd2 to see fuel trims and misfire counts and reliability and improved gas mileage with increase performance. I will share my notes. Most of them came frome Mitchell on demand or Identifix from work. The rest came from me and my voltmeter. Truck is being towed to the house Monday.
Anybody interested?
