I'm rebuilding my engine and would like to start it on an engine stand first but I'm not sure how to wire it up. I assume batt wire thru ballast resistor to + coil. The starter I'll cable thru relay and use a starter push button to cross the relay. How do I wire the 4-terminal ECU and the 2-wire electronic distributor. Thanks in advance for any help!!

Sorry I cant give you a better answer to your question, But this is more of an electrical forum question than an engine forum question.

Also If you get a factoy service manual of the engine bay wiring schematic That should help shed some light on your problem.



Good Luck,

Greg

Make sure you are using an engine stand designed to have a motor run on it. If you do a google search there are stories of motors flipping over.

It's more than electrical........

There's exhaust and cooling to worry about.


and flipping over.

Best engine stand to start the engine is your car.I tried it once with what I thought was a sound modified engine stand,first blip of throttle it was on the ground.not pretty.Stuff it.Mark

Thanks for the input. I have used the engine stand start up method several times before. But that was before electronic ignitions. If I'm supposed to move this post to electrical I don't know how.

try looking in the articles section on this site i would give you a link ,but i dont know how

Good tip. After a few attempts learning how to search the site, found a wiring diagram for the ECU. Thanks again. Great resource site!!

How do you plan on starting it? You will need a trans (auto) or flywheel and bell housing. Then how will you attach the engine? I built a test stand for my use it will take any slant configuration.
