Projection

[Michael J. Kupec]

Fredric,

I thought your name looked familiar. Nice to see fellow EB members here on
this list. I wasn't aware you were running a Projection on your EB. Anyway,
if you find out that the older analog stuff won't work on the new system,
let me know, I'd be interested in the parts.

You're right about the O2 setup for the 2D. The older system uses an add on
box that modifies the TPS signal to make the system either lean or richen
the injector flow. Neither the 2D or the analog has/had a MAP sensor. Both
just take the TPS and distributor pulses and use that to change the fuel
flow throught the injectors, crude, but it works. The 2D is simpler, just an
O2 and the wiring harness is all you need. Not sure if Holley use a heated
one or not though.  All the temp sensor is used for is for cold starting of
the engine. After the engine is at operating temp, the temp sensor is out of
the loop.

BTW what's the chance of you scanning in the manual and sending it to me?
Mostly I want to see what differences they did at the ECU plug. I'm thinking
I might be able to use a 2D whenever my analog system dies.

Anyone got the manual for the 4D/4Di? It'd be interesting see what I can do
with a 4's computer and the 2BBl TBI.
