Some of you may remember that I was working on putting a DIS 2.3 (N/A for now unfortunately) into my 74 wagon. Well, today I got it wired up (except power to the fuel pumps) along with a bunch of other little things. I still have a few hours worth of work to do.
1. Wire the fuel puthe 12ga wire first)
2. Fill the radiator, engine oil, transmission oil, and power steering fluid (have everything but the antifreeze)
3. Hook up the return fuel lines (need some 1/4" fuel injection hose and clamps first)
4. Plug a couple vacuum ports
5. Connect the computer
6. Turn the key!
I don't know yet, but I MAY also have to wire the neutral drive switch line to the signal return line together to make it run.

There is no cooling fan yet (no clearance for a ranger clutch fan that I wanted to use, or the stock fan either), and the exhaust hasn't been hooked up (since it had to be cut off the old engine, and the manifold outlet is in a different spot anyways), so it will only be a short run, but at least I'll know it will run.
I do have one other problem to solve before the car is ready to be driven all the time. For now the computer will have to be under the hood. I fear it will get wet and ruin it there, so I need to either seal it up in a plastic bag or box, or cut a hole in the firewall to run the wiring through so that I can put the computer up under the dash somewhere.
Other than that stuff the project is pretty much done. Hoping to get pretty good mileage with this thing, even tho I am using the stock pinto 4 speed transmission for now.
