ECM change??

I have a 92 truck with a 303,000 mile 350 TBI in it. It has an 16146249 ECM in it. The pin outs appear to be the same as a 7747 ECM, can they be swapped? I am getting ready to start burning chips & there is a lot of info on the 7747 & none on the 6249. Getting a 383 SOON.

A hac is a conversion from machine language to english. It allows a human to read thru what is really happening in some thing that uses a processor.

A hac of an ecm, shows all the table, switches, and settings possible. Most editors just show, what's most often needed by the average guy for tuning. The code allows for such details as the time that it takes for the coil driver to swith on and off, which would in theory never need to be changed.

Well, you asked for a hack, not an ecu file

I don't recall having seen a $99 .ecu posted anywhere.

But, the hack gives you the information you need to make the .ecu file. Open the .src file with a text editor, and you'll be able to see the memory locations that you need. IIRC, Mangus has a how-to paper on the TunerPro site.

HTH,
