    Edelbrock intended the main harness to be universal across all applications. Ford, gm Chrysler, etc. The website lists harness extensions for front mount distributors in BB Chrysler and ford applications. The instructions specify that the ecm should be mounted on the o2 sensor side of the engine due to harness length limitations. Although the instructions don't explicitly say, I'm sure that they intended the ecm be mounted in the engine compartment.

    I’m curious to know why the YJ frame doesn’t have a cross member under the engine…. I know other Jeep owners complain about that the Jeep frame cracking and flexing

    I think Edlebrock intended for everything to go inside the engine compartment. I wish they had an optional wiring harness that would allow the ECU to be cleanly fit inside. For some cars you don’t want that hunk of plastic scarring up the engine bay. Under the dash seems better.

    • @BobWilson84
      @BobWilson84  4 роки тому

      Right on, and the way the individual cables enter the ECU plug is rather ugly. Like you said it would be a nice option to make a DIY harness to the right length for under the dash installs.

    • @swooshdave
      @swooshdave 4 роки тому

      @@BobWilson84 Why don’t you have that option? They are using standard plugs. I’m not ready for EFI yet but if I need to I’d just make some extension cables or new cables as needed.

    Hey i have this harness for my 5.3 and I’m trying to figure out what wires I need to keep on my 88 tbi harness for my temp,oil,speedometer do you have any tips ? I’m terrified to start pulling wires

    • @BobWilson84
      @BobWilson84  3 роки тому +1

      The harness will have a dedicated temp sensor. The gauges will need their own senders separate from the engine computer. Lastly, the computer doesn’t need a speed input, no issues there. The instructions were really easy to follow, don’t stress out. Take lots of notes and pictures, you’ll be fine

    You don't need a crossover. Just cap the rails in the front, and use a Y, or a T for the inputs....This is for none return systems of course.
    Your O2 sensor is going to die very quickly.
    The ECU is waterproof. So it's designed to be mounted on the engine bay firewall, and you mounted it upside down....Connectors always point down.
    Wires going to the top of the motor ARE bundled together. Wires that don't go to the top of the motor are separate.
    Injector wires can go under the fuel rails. Ditto for the coil wires.
    The MAP sensor 98% of the time hits the air cleaner. So you will have to move/bend the mount......Newest throttle body's have the MAP sensor mounted to the front.
