e4od computer compaitibility
how did the computer work? i would think the 7.3 idi was mechanical and uses no computer like a cummins 12v. (completely new to these trucks im usually in the '80-'86 section) could you use the computer on lets say a carbed 351? just wonderin, its been on my mind

yes thats what i was talking about, thank you for clearing that up
I was a little tipsy that night and i guess it came out confusing. I'm just wondering how the 7.3 IDI would control the e4od without a computer and if its possible (im goin manual for my 351/300swap) to control a e4od with the IDI computer behind the said 351w

Baumann Engineering makes a stand-alone computer for the E4OD called the 'Baumannator' or something to that affect. Might wanna' look into them.

The IDI has a computer that only controls the transmission, I'm sure that you would need the computer, all of the wiring and the sensors that it would need to control it.
I would suggest going to a unit that can be controlled like the "Baumannator"...
It sure would be alot easier than tracking down a bunch of old parts and trying to assemble all of it, and make it work.
