Gary Lewis Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 TCM will be by Bauman, a Quick 4, shouldn’t have any communication? Also, TBI will be the Holley Sniper 2bbl, again, shouldn’t have any communications? The Ford ECU wants to know about the clutch and brake. Here's how I wired mine.

Thanks for that Gary, but my ecu was removed over a decade ago when I reverted back to a good ‘old fashion carb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Blue Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 Thanks for that Gary, but my ecu was removed over a decade ago when I reverted back to a good ‘old fashion carb. But it is good to find out that the speed control wants to see ground until the brakes are applied, providing 12+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArdWrknTrk Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 - circuit 306, “clutch pedal position switch”. I will no longer have this switch so I’m assuming that I need to provide a jumper, out of a couple female spade terminals and wire, at the connector (as the EVTM diagram implies) Bear with me, as I'm trying to do this from a phone that's randomly closing the reply window as I try to Peck out a response. This is on the '96? With the clutch switch on the back of the master pushrod? Because on our trucks it's simple to push a spare fuse into the clutch switch connector in order to jumper it. (Perhaps you've switched to an auto, or just want to use the starter to move the truck) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It finally stopped sleeting but this weather and my knee throbbing make it hard to concentrate. I'm going to print off the pages I need and puzzle it out after I get some sleep, after 7.

Gary Lewis Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 As long as you're out there raking the forest, you're doing a great job for America! 🇺🇲 Jim - I'm sure my writing is a sign of sloppiness. Some have suggested that I should have been a doctor. But having literally JUST met with my doctor, I think I'm too organized for that. After we talked a while he said "So, you don't have any complaints. So, why are you here?" I replied that "This is supposed to be a Medicare wellness check wherein you ask me what county I'm in and if I have extension cords running across the floor in the house." He basically did a Ok, back to the questions, with my answers in bold: - circuit 848, “speed control switch return” Do I simply run that wire to ground as Gary suggests in the Big Blue thread? Yes. It works. - circuit 307, “brake pressure input” My master cylinder does not have provisions for this “fire hazard” switch. Do I cap this wire off? In essence creating the “open when system has pressure” state necessary to allow use of the controls? No. The switch opens when there is pressure in the brake system, so the speed control needs 12v on that circuit save for when the brakes are applied. Otherwise it won't engage. So if you don't have the switch then you need to take that wire to power, but you will lose a safety. - circuit 306, “clutch pedal position switch”. I will no longer have this switch so I’m assuming that I need to provide a jumper, out of a couple female spade terminals and wire, at the connector (as the EVTM diagram implies) Yes, or as Jim suggested with a fuse. - circuit 679, “vehicular speed input”. I would very much like to retain the use of my stock VSS that is part of my speedometer cable (just under the master cylinder) It has two wires, the DG/W would be the signal and the BK should be ground. Can I just run the BK wire over to the firewall with a ring terminal and a self tapper? Or does it need to be tied into the harness somewhere? You could ground the Bk wire, but I made a "twisted pair" by twisting the two wires together for the run to the speed control. That helps to cancel out electrical noise in the signal. But in my case I was running the wires from the transfer case instead of by the master cylinder, so my wires were a whole lot longer and, therefore, more likely to pick up noise.
