Looks good / . The TAC is a very simple circuit. Here are the diagrams from my EVTM. On page 19 you may not have any of the stuff besides the TAC, but notice that there is a fuse at the top of the page. When I first got my truck, the TAC did not work and the previous owner said he couldn't figure out what was wrong with it, (fuse was missing :blink: ). He is my son-in-law so I could jab him in the ribs over it , in his defense, he didn't have the advantage of a circuit diagram :huh: .

Good luck,

Hey... nice job, looks nice clean and neat!

I noticed that you zip tied the plug wires together.

I'm not sure if that is a good thing.

I'm not clear on exactly why, but I seem to recall that on my 302 that some of the wires are not supposed to be run parallel because somehow the spark can jump from one wire to another, through induction or something. This can cause a miss.

thats a good point, im actually purchasing some new wires looking at some ACCEL wires or something other than these motorcraft ones

I havent had a problem knock on wood , I figured it would be the same as those wire spacers that places sell

so other than it looking great what kinda performance gains did you see? i've been considering the ignition system upgrade but cant reallly justify the cost just yet.

actually its a huge improvement over the stock carb, and intake, I finally have an operational electric choke lol I get better gas miliage, and no hesitation no matter how hard I go after it, she also idles like my 07 nissan altima lol smooth

there is something awesome about the secondaries opening up when your passing a blazer

Billytopless put a new set of wires on and screwed up the fireing order. I recall that Miesk5 responded with information that included that some (specifically which ones) of the wires are supposed to be twisted. So just using those spacers may not be the best.

Sorry for only having half of the information to share.

EDIT:

I looked for and found the link

thanks for the link, I noticed that it was for 87-94 and a 302, wondering if I need to be careful this weekend when I buy some new wires, I will make sure to route them one at a time lol
