anyone got an early model wiring diagram for an e-150 van ?


I need the wiring diagram that is for a non-computer carb / points type distributor.


I am going to an all manual set-up with this SURFER VAN .


I will of course use the pertronics electronic distributor set-up in my distributor.


I already have the new 2 barrel manifold for my 302, 5.0 motor.


I do a lot of far-out travalling & I just do not need the computerized problems that can arise .......... an all manual electric system & a 5 speed transmission will solve all of any future problems.

 

Econo4spd helped me do a DSll conversion on my 85 e150
maybe the wiring diagrams can help you.

Thinking positive huh?

 

Man, you really want to file points every 2,000 miles?
Best thing EVER happened, is electronic ignition. PERIOD
I lived back then, believe me, you don't want to go back to points.

 

I had a dodge charger that had a terrible problem with their distributors. We changed it to a Mallory dual point also did away with the vacuum advance as it was all manual. Worked great. I tiik out one set of points and it was still good. Later in my ford 400 I installed an electronic conversion unit and it was even better. I also found one for my HD sportster in which the points were always a problem.

So rather than anything else get one of these units if ya can. I think that was the indication in your last sentence was it not?

 

I believe "The Droom" has a 89 van. I am guessing it would have the TFI ignition like my 85 had.I had the feedback carb on mine but doesn't a 89 have fuel injection?

I went with the DSII conversion because I was having intermittent problems with skipping and running rough. Once I understood the wiring, how the DSII ignition worked, and half way knew what I was doing, it seemed pretty straight forward. From everything I have read, the DSII is much better then points and much less problems then the TFI/feedback carb system.

A while back I was at a shop that restores older cars and the guys there were talking about upgrading from a carb to fuel injection and how much better it was then the carb. On the other hand my mother has a 78 E100 with DSII and a 2bbl carb. It has 186k on it and the carb has never been touched and we have only replaced one DS module.
