Breakout boxes?

I am looking for instructions to make a breakout box for the 42 pin connector. I found a thread last night and it was several years old and the links didn't work.

I also would like to find the 104 pin breakout box for the pcm. i was going through my ford service manual and it calls for it quite a bit on alot of the sensor tests. any one know where I could find one? Amazon has one listed but it is out of stock and they don't know if they will get more. Thanks

I bought my big breakout box on ebay. It is the Ford one. It was a few years ago and there were several dealers going out of business.

I also have the 42 Pin Breakout Box article


Here is the connector layout for an 02 or later 7.3L.

Ken- Curious as to what you paid for your Ford BOB? I think I have about $125 into mine.

Me too. Cut the connectors out of a 95 model that was headed off to the scrapyard and used those . . .
