Yes. It will be the easiest solution and I can use the cables I have.
The TB's bracket would bring the cables over the valve cover (ugly).
And the current cables don't fit the Dodge bracket holes.

Pretty close now.

OK, one other question.

Looks like you've got a GM knock sensor screwed in there;
how did you choose a knock sensor, since there are a plethora of options?
[very incomplete list.....]
10456288 (4.3 and 5.7)
10456287 (5.0)
10456549 (7.4)
10456208 (3.1)
10456209 (2.2 pushrod)
I have heard the "bore diameter" thing before, but I'm not convinced.

Not sure how else you will decide then...

Pretty sure I got one for a 1993 Chev S10 with 2.5 Duke.
That's the closest SD4 engine "relative" - AND they have the same bore.

It's in! The engine runs!

Not very driveable at present - fuel map is all wrong.
Have contacted the fellow who helped TunerPro it last time.

Also, thanks to Cody, I was able to obtain the #163 Indy Parade Car Plate.
So after 33 years, it can again be shown on the car it belongs to.

Do you happen to have a part number? I don't see a knock sensor on GMPartsdirect, Rockauto, or Advance Auto sites.

Oops... I think it was a 91 S10...
or '93 https://goo.gl/FCYTeK

We've been fighting with it for almost 2 months and just couldn't get it right.
It was finally pointed out that the jumper settings to configure the NVRAM board to run the TBI probably weren't right. (didn't get a PDF with the thing)

So once I get that corrected, it may be "start from scratch" again.

BUT... it may be better and faster progress.




One of the cleanest SD4 builds that I've seen. As for tuning are you scanning and taking a log? Those early C3 ECM's can be tricky to tune but the guys on the Moates forum seem to have the process down pat.

Thanks Dennis

I'm completely set up using TunerPro RT (Real Time) 'live' emulator that can also scan and datalog.
All through the ALDL port with a 1227165 ECM : https://pcmhacking.net/foru...topic.php?f=27&t=356

I'm still checking a few things and may need to start with a different BIN than I have now.
These guys know their stuff too: http://www.gearhead-efi.com...7248d86a7e5f6178e6b6

Ok, I'm sending you my Indy! That is one clean engine.
