| Post subject: | lean burn conversion help |
Lean burn computer is gone, waiting for the carb to come back from the rebuild shop. Does anyone know if I need to do anything to the engine bay harness? ( 83 B150 van ) Can I just leave the computer connecters in place ? Or do I need delete or reroute any of the wiring?  Any help would be great.

You can leave all the lean burn wiring in place and just replace the distributor. Use the coil (+) feed wire as the trigger for the relay that feeds the HEI unit. Otherwise the wiring for the HEI is completely independent from any of the other wiring. |

Good luck! You certainly can remove all the lean burn wiring if you want to. It really cleans up the engine bay, but you don't HAVE to do it. If you can, I recommend going ahead and replacing the stock coil with a Ford e-core coil to get the most out of the HEI conversion. A stock late 80s or early 90s Ford Mustang or truck coil is fine and shouldn't cost too much at the boneyard. |
