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)

You'll need power to the coil.
You'll need to provide 29 PSI fuel to the fuel rail, and provide a place to dump the fuel coming out of the pressure regulator. You'll need to supply power to the EFI through the 4-pin connector. I think two of the pins get power and two get the starter wire signal; double-check the relay board diagram on that though. You'll need to ground the case to the battery. You'll want a way to hold the engine onto the stand. You might want to hook up a light to the oil pressure sender. A bulb with +12V on one side and the other connected to the sender should be good enough. If you have a mechanical oil pressure gauge you're using, you can ignore the light. I can't think of anything else off the top of my head. --DD |
