HEI in Mopar ECU casing
Newbee and first post.
I am thinking about doing this mod first on my 78 LRT' 410 ci Magnum stroker project and later on a few other Mopars like my/son' 65 B-Cuda and his 74 Dodge D200 with a 68 383.
Every Mopar that I have had that was points ignition got converted to Electronic ECM. Over the years I have had about 5 stockish ECM's and a few Chrome box's fail. The 1978 Orange box is still working but.... Too bad I scraped all those burnt out ECU's.
I will do the GUT the ECM potting and build an aluminum plate under the ECM box then strap a 14 Gauge wire on the ballast resistor so it all looks 100% MOPAR.
I bought 2 CHEAP 4 pin HEI modules as the test for $21 for 2. If this works then I may do the upgrade to the Pertronic Rev limiter unit for $85.
I am real good at electrical stuff, 20 years US Army telephone systems and 18 years GTE-Verizon telephone repair. Out of all my expensive test gear including an 'O'scope..., my #1 go to test piece for automotive troubleshooting is my simple 12 volt test light. If its bright then don't worry about it but if dim, check for resistance faults with a Fluke VOM meter... KISS
