Well, us 351 guys weren't blessed with the luxury of mass air from the factory until '96 like some of you guys, so in anticipation of a lot more to come, I am doing a mass air conversion on my Lightning to make tuning easier.
I didn't take any pictures of the main harness before, but if you want to know what it looks like, go look under your own hood. You can see the new stuff with pretty shiny grey wires.
Pulled the stock C3P3 computer and installed an A9L from a fox body manual trans car. I will be using a Baumminator to control the transmission fuctions instead of a stock ECU. Here's the new A9L installed.
Here you can see the stock computer, Baumminator control module, and Tweecer R/T (my tuning device)
Here is a picture of the fuel injector harness. This conversion will change the injectors from bank fire to sequential.
Upper intake manifold off with stock 17#/hr injectors. By the way, Lightning upper intakes are easier to take off than regular trucks, IMO. Or maybe it's just easier this time because I've done it once already on my old '94.
The new 42#/hr injectors installed.
And that's where I stopped for today. Tomorrow, I plan to lay my new injector harness, run the Baumminator harness and install the control module, reinstall the upper intake manifold with new throttle body. Build the new CAI for the mass air meter, and then fire it off and see what happens. After I see it at least start, my wideband is half wired up, just gotta finish that and install my wideband guage into the new a-pillar pod I bought, then I might play with the Tweecer and Baum programming a little bit. But it should run just fine on the stock A9L tune.
After I know it runs right with the mass air setup, I'll put in my new electric fan setup, as well as the HID conversion I bought.
