ITT: Stupid People Doing Stupid MS Things to Old 'Merican Iron
We should probably have a subforum for the greatest pickup trucks known to man.
I nominate EO2Gay as moderator, and then I'll have somewhere to post my super awesome body swap. (No I'm not getting a sex change) |
EO as autofellator? body swap?
Paging Monk |

Paging Monk New build in the making. - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums See poll :) |
Good looking truck! Looks way better than my 73. My pops has a sweet 68.

Oh hey there.
I see I'm late to the party. |
We should maybe change the thread title now because this is going to broaden in scope.
The reason for reviving is this: fuel only tbi conversion Basically, we all have old ass carb setups, and would like to "cheaply" convert to a very basic fuel injection system and use megasquirt to control fuel only. For my part, I am going to try to find everything in the junkyards and document as well as I can. |

I'm so jealous of that car :drool: :party:

That leads me to my first question.
What is the most cost effective megasquirt to buy off the shelf for this. I have an old ms1 lying around, and I think Aidan has an ms2, but for the average booger picker who is tuning in, what is the absolute minimum for controlling fuel? |
I feel like you could do it with a Microsquirt and a relay board? It does not require a lot of I/O to get this done.
@afm, didn't we talk about this earlier? I have no spare MS stuff, so I'll be looking for a cheap option as well. I was kind hoping we would all end up buying the same one and then looking over each others shoulders and copying notes, but I understand that cheap is cheap. |
I'd be willing to do that for science.
I imagine most people looking at this will be truck guys who are afraid of pixies and the confounding pathways they take to make electronicals chooch. |

This says ms2 + relay board. for a plug in and go. An MS1 would probably work though. |
Ms1 PCBv2.2 diy kit is $169 list.
Ms2 PCBv3.0 diy kit is $279 list, as opposed to the listed price of $247 in that article. :( Looks like the Microsquirt now comes in its own housing thing? $339 with harness, and you would probably still need the relay board, right? https://www.diyautotune.com/wp-conte...microsqrt3.jpg https://www.diyautotune.com/product/...iring-harness/ |
I mean, it's not like this isn't the original design intent of the MS1 at all or anything like that. Adding single point TBI to distributor timed cars. Nope. Not at all.
|
We are aware.
This is a place where we can demonstrate what we're doing with slightly different rigs and with cheap parts. It's helpful to have the information in one place. Also, megasquirt has evolved just a tad since the early 2000s. |
Watching with interest...
I have a '92 Bronco and I'm planning to replace the Ford EFI with MS if I ever get around to rebuilding the engine. I'm planning the full Monty, though... crank fire/ COP, etc. It's waaay down the list of projects, but I don't feel too bad, considering how old the thread is... I was surprised to find out my login still worked at the FTE forum... hadn't logged in since '13... :rofl: |

Do I need to start spending money on this, too? I was just thinking of selling it...
