Re: MS3 main board looks like it melted alittle???

A generic 30W is what i used along with a fancy multi watt dial up affair. The higher watt irons are nie as all the connections are literally .5 seconds of heating and touching the solder to the opposite side of the component. I found the 45 degree point that makes a nice 90 degree contact with the ...

Re: MS1 not communicating

I believe its all in the shielding of the cable used. shielded mic cable would be a great candidate. Maybe Ill try to cobble one up using coaxial cable, that stuff is bulletproof. Its 75 Ohm if that makes a difference.

on a side note..check this little doodad out, its a drop in DB9 to USB ...

Re: MS1 not communicating

Set ecu in fuel settings:general...good to know. Thanks. Is it safe to swap between ms1 and ms2 chips with the switching off/on of the ms2 12v iac servo pullup jumper? making progress! This thread should be the poster child of serial cable problems and resolutions. If it helps another user, then ...

Re: MS1 not communicating

success! :yeah!: After literally 8 days of working to get a laptop that actually had a serial port on the back (as opposed to a parallel port which for 2 days I thought was a serial port) up and running with an OS that was compatible with the freaking USB serial dongle piece of shoot I had and the ...

Re: MS1 not communicating

let me clarify, I cant get the 40 pin loopback jumper to show a loopback on the hyperterm while under power. But my stim looks fine, I can alter FI pulses and power enrichment circuit with the pots. Any other tests I can do?

Re: MS1 not communicating

dead serial chip? Thought of that and socketed/ replaced it...twice. same deal. I can get loopback on serial chip 13/14 (just pin 2/3 trace ends) and I get continuity on the 40 pin sockets 12/13 to serial chip 11/12 I just can seem to get MAX232 under power to bridge 11/12 (loopback) when stim is ...

Re: MS1 not communicating

MS1 not communicating

I have an MS1 with V2.2 board and I CANNOT get this to communicate with anything. I have a real prolific USB-serial adapter that I can loopback via pin 2-3 to a serial tester, a fake PL2303 based cable that doesnt work period, and even a RS232 cable on my desktop PC that doesnt even loopback. So the ...

Re: Dual tbi throttle bodies

Duals on a 413 would be "color by numbers" for me to follow your build for my 400 based motor. Just different manifold (RB vs. B) Ill look yours up. And if you have any thoughts you would want to share with me before I start this journey, feel free and drop me a line pishta68 at hotmail.com. I am ...

Re: Dual tbi throttle bodies

I posted the exact question. Im doing a 451 Mopar and 2 TBIs in a dual quad intake would be much cheaper than a 950 CFM TB. I would assume you would run 1 IAC and just wire up the 2X2 injectors like a single 4TBI setup. I calculated I would need 4 X 72 lb/hr injectors, dont know what is on a stock ...

Re: Big Mopar Question

Thanks Matt, Im doing a '65 Barracuda, so I think you know what I might have in store. A low rise dual quad intake on a stroked 400 big block running 2 670 TBI's. The whole induction package Should be cheaper than even 1 950 Throttle body. Mallory Hy-fire 7 and Crane E-coil doing the lighting. :yeah ...

Re: Big Mopar Question

A secondhand 950 cfm Holley TBI ought to work fine here. Some of them lack an idle air control valve, so check into which one you're getting.

If you're using a Mopar distributor, and want the MS to control the ignition, the best one to grab for this engine would be off a 400 Lean Burn. We have an ...

Big Mopar Question

I am thinking about M.S for my 451 Mopar. I think about 900CFM with 4 85's may be enough but I want a real world user to comment on what he/she uses. I see lots of HEI and Ford distributors being used for spark timing, but I want to stay Mopar if at all possible. Also, the premade TB's are very ...
