I used a wire of...

Re: FiTech 38350 ECU

I think the Fitech gets the tach signal from the distributor connection plug. I think the white from the fitech is an output only. Could be wrong…lol

Re: FiTech 38350 ECU

I have seen them placed by the factory relays. I have seen people cut a new hole where the HVAC harness goes through the firewall. It is, unfortunately, too short to go through the factory location.

Re: What would you do?

Did you swap the manifold? I also noticed that the studs on some of the HO manifolds appear to be longer on top of the different exit points. I feel like we may both be dealing with 92 convertible...

Re: egr operation with solenoid disconnected

I’m going to just vent it to a charcoal filter. I think you said on facebook that you get a little gas smell but that is it. Do you use a vented gas cap also?
