And I don't have a drawing for the TFI ignition. But, that really doesn't make any difference as you were asking about the feedback carb, not the ignition. I just threw that in to show you where the one wire is coming from.

Neither of those gauges work lol
I have a mechanical temp gauge and I'm slowly getting a full set of gauges.
I will keep them seperate and maybe new ones will work or there is a broken cable or something.
And then just remove the rest correct?

I'm pretty sure, but I am not under the hood of your truck.
You are going to want to use the ignition hot to trigger a relay and a 10Ga. wire from battery+ to your new HEI style dizzy.
At least most of them call for 10Ga. primary wire....

I think it is 10ga.
It comes with a booklet of instructions and a break in process and a few other fancy things
And okay but that's pretty much the just of it and I'll look at the ds2 swap and see what will it says.
Finally after two days I get back to my truck

I've mostly run motorcycles on a dyno.
Eddy current or inertia style dyno's are only observing power applied to the roller. "Rear wheel horsepower".
Gearing and drivetrain correction factors are noted by the operator.
None of this matters because in the end it is how much force or acceleration you (your truck) can actually get to the ground.

So, is strapping the rear of a vehicle down to the rollers realistic?
We all know how easy it is to break the rear loose given enough torque.
Why aren't you driving an electric vehicle where almost all torque is available from a standstill?

Wouldn't some "strapping down" be required in order to approximate the traction of rubber on pavement? I wouldn't think the small steel rollers of the dyno can provide the same traction as a flat patch of asphalt or concrete.
