Bob, any plans in the works to get ThunderRacing, IRS, TByrne, etc. to carry your black box and/or package up a kit ready to go?

 

The unit was originally going to be distributed by a major vendor..... they backed out at the end.

I would consider such an arrangement. But for now I am not pursuing one.

Bob

 

Just a Heads up,looks like Bob made serious progress here.

It looks good but has anyone tried it and how precise is it at rpms over 7000?

 

Since the PCM still governs when spark is issued and the optical sensor is what determines how often, I'm sure the 7K limitation is still in place. I'm jumping onto the group purchase for the box.
I bought a complete set of coils from a owner for 75 bux.

I have a few sets of 5.3 coils FS, $120 shipped, if anyone can use them for this project. My understanding is that the coils will work, but the connectors might be different. Perhaps Bob can tell us.

 

Yup!.......and don't know!

 

Pampers Wearin' Zeke: Just drill a big azz hole in the back of your manifold, and hammer a HEI distributor in. WHAM! Instant OPTI alternative! YOU FRIGGIN' HILLBILLY! Shouldn't you be on a hog callin forum or sumthin', and not be worring about them there hot rods?

 

Just got my LTCC kit and Taylor plug wires today. I'm going to be installing this tonight. I'm pumped about it! Thanks, Bob Bailey for your quick response in getting this to me. Kit looks good. Professional quality wire, looms and connectors.

WOW, You are one smart City Slicker, how many time did you gradiate the 5th
grade???

Been working on that already. I have the link for the LT1 intake on a 3rd gen

Since I must keep the emmission on the car I'm having a space problem
with the EGR and AIR tubes. But I'm checking on the Electromotive SBC
unit, it's basically a dist. shaft with a sensor mounted to it. It just might fit?

But, if I do need to start swinging a B.F.H., you'll be the first one I call!

I'm getting 3 systems from him, can't wait

 

Can you guys who have purchased them recently answer a few quesitons for me?

1) is Bob still using the metal case? I would prefer a plastic case, but mine came with a metal one.
2) what is the firmware number on the chip? Is it still 1.6? I just want to make sure my unit is up to date.

Thanks,
DaveW

 

As of about 10 wks. ago.....metal and 1.9

 

BTW, for those interested or so inclined to go this route, there are a few changes/corrections that were made to this breakdown. Plus some relevant additional info that would have been helpful, was omitted in this list 'reprint'.

The #914 bolts are expensive, I found the 'equiv.' very acceptable. The quantity should read 16, not 8. (2 per coil)

I performed a slight mod to the #864 to better fit the LT1 cover.

I didn't need/use the #038 bolts.

The #859 oil cap is an earlier sbc rubber 'push on' cap. I altered it a bit for improved penetration. (?) Most would be better served with oem screw on cap sans filler tube of course.

#85241 wires are too short for most, must be made custom length.

The 6 generic bolts/studs at bottom, are/were used to mount brkts. on vette composite covers only. HTH some.

 

Here's some initial pics of my install. I'm going to reshoot some of the pictures. I still have plenty of text to apply, but I wanted to show you some pics. If you're on dialup, this page will load slowly because I have the pics all on this page. Later on, I will put links with meaningful names so that the page itself will load quickly and you can navigate to things that interest you instead of making you wait for every stinking picture to load at once.

BTW-I had to send my LTCC box back to Bob. He's received it and fixed it. It appears I may have miswired the white wire and toasted a chip. I will be adding pictoral instructions to my LTCC page so that this can be averted by future LTCC owners.
