Most of your wires are going to be 14 & 16 AWG so these connectors should work for you.

Ford 302/5.0 in a 70 Maverick

My 70 Maverick that I've owned for 40 years. I mounted the coil packs on the center of the firewall with the spark plug wires coming forward. Now the local Ford guys get on me saying it looks like I'm running a small block Chevy... I originally planned on using the rear flange of the crankshaft pull...

On my old distributor the vacuum advance can added about 20* max. Seemed to work pretty well. Realistically, at low load the engine will probably never see more than about 2500 rpm. In overdrive I would be easily exceeding any of the local speed limits. There's a whole bunch of cells in the top- to ...

The car is running great. This is what the car seemed to like. A light car with a torquey V8, manual transmission with overdrive, and fairly stiff rear gears. I prefer to tune the car by road testing, a dyno doesn’t take into account the vehicle weight (inertia) or aerodynamics. At highway speeds (l...

I must have been doing something wrong. Comitted the map to flash and it's working fine now. A little more tweaking and I'll upload the map to the library. This thing is neat!

Config. tach and MAP working, active cell doesn't track

Installed Megajolt in my 302 Ford Maverick. Ran it on the base map for about a week, now I'm trying to work out my own map. The software tach matches rpm with my in-dash tach and the load gauge seems to be working correctly but the active (green) cell in the table doesn't follow the rpm or load gaug...

I also found out that Google Mail (work) doesn't like to send applications as attachments to emails...

Copying the file from my work computer to a thumb drive and then to my home computer worked. Someday I'll have to figure out why my home computer didn't like the file.

Thanks. Trying a workaround. Downloaded the file on my computer at work and copied to my thumb drive. We'll see tonight. I can't install and run at work because I don't have Administrator privileges.
