Yesterday, with some help from my 2 boys, I got my '76 2.0 short block on the engine run stand. I need help setting it up. It's late 2.0, complete, all stock, EFI. I'm looking for any info, any help at all. I've read few dozen threads about engine stands, but most of them deal with yokes, adapters and such. I need help with wiring and actually test running the engine. If local guys can stop by this long weekend and land me a hand, you'd really do me a solid and I'll return the favor. I'll serve beer of your choice. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Add to your engine stand a place to hang your FI computer, MPS and relay board. Pull your relay board from your car (or if you have a spare use it) and plug all the engine wiring in just like it was in the car. Hang the FI computer and mount the MPS and hook it up. You need the fuel pump off the car or a spare, some thing to serve as a fuel tank (I used a my lawn mower fuel can) and some hose to plumb it in and a battery. Now all you have to do is add a couple switch to get power to the relay board and the starter and some wiring to the fuel pump.
You'll have to look over a wiring diagram and figure out the wiring connections you need but they will all go to the 14 pin connector at the relay board except the main battery cable that need to go to the start and to the engine or trans case. I just set my engine on jack stands (seem like the right thing for a 914 engine), 1 under each end of the engine cross bar and 1 under the tail end of the trans. Then I made a little stand to hold the relay board and some switches. Just layed the FI computer and MPS on top of the engine, a bit sloppy but it worked. Here is what I have for the 14 pin connector for the Relay Panel. 1 - Power in from starter switch 2 - Power/ground for Alternator light 3 - 4 - 5 - From Oil Press Light 6 - 7 - Signal to Tach 8 - Power in from Ignition switch 9 - To Heater Fan Switch 10 - To Main Ground 11 - Power out to Heater Fan 12 - Power in from Battery 13 - Power out to Fuel Pump 14 - Power in from Battery Jim |
