upgrading fuel injection system
I probably already know the answer to this; but here goes anyway.
I want to upgrade my 1990 F150 fuel injection "controls" to the 1996 fuel injection "controls".
I bought the 96 computer and went to install it and realized I will have to change out the engine compartment wiring harness in order to plug the 96 computer into it.
My question is: Can I just swap the EPROMs out in the computers or do I have to buy the wiring harness?
thanks,
ct

Ford EEC computers do not have eproms so no you can't swap them out. Besides that the '96 is OBD-2 with a 104 pin connector and your '90 is OBD-1 with a 60 pin connector, so there are a lot more wires and sensors attached to the '96 that your motor doesn't even have. Even if you got a '96 harness there's no place to install all the extra sensors, so listen to the other guys and start over with an OBD-1 MAF computer and wiring harness.
