I need a MAF to SD conversion expert. Im having trouble figuring out what wires, or what to do for the distributor. I have everything hooked up, iac, iatc, tps, map, injectors but the distributor itself. I bought the car halfway through the conversion, but cant figure out what triggers the dizzy.

Id dont know if I still hook up the original plug on the side of the cap, or what goes inside to the pickup. I think I have to remove the module though, so now what? Where to go next? I didnt get instructions...

Thanx in advance.

 

What dist do you have?

There is no difference in the dist hook up SD to MAF
If your harness is for a HEI then it will have the same large flat 4 pin plug that connects to the plug coming from HEI dist base.

If your harness has the small dist plug ( most commonly used on aftermarket harness) then you need the small cap F-Body style dist (has provision for two plugs in dist housing) and a remote coil ( and a wiring connector from coil to dist )




There are conversion adapters available that allow the use of a small cap harness with HEI dist.

 

Mine has the larger Hei type with no vacuum adv if that helps any. The cars a 87, roller motor vette.
What about the module? Out?

 

Confused
You don't touch the module.
All you do is hook up the harness plug to the lead out of dist base using the above adapter if needed.

 

Thanx vetteOz, youve been alot of help ! Maybe I should just get your personal email !

Anyways, I found the pigtail and the adaptor, connected hanging back on the top of the tranny. Looks like all I need to give it a go is a module thats missing. I might as well get the module, new cap, rotor, and plugs. Oh ya and the smog pump pulley thats mia too. The list is getting shorter ! Now Im getting somewhere ! Hopefully I'll try to start it by the weekend !

I say that because I found a broken lower screw in the throttle body for the tps. I gotta figure out how to get that out next.
