Thanks for the confirmation. It looked like it was straightforward (too easy, actually), and it does look from the above posts that scaling should be a fairly simple exercise in interpolation. I see where innovate posts a table that equates that voltages within this range with commensurate a/f ratio...

Ooops. Should have posted hereā€¦LC1/LC2 question

I know I'm late to this party. I'm wanting to run an innovate a/f monitor on my dash, and my needs are really quite simple. I'm satisfied with the data log feature on my Megajolt Jr., except I would like to add the analog output from the LC1/LC2, which I read is 0-5V. So what all is involved - just ...

Wideband sensor

This may be heresy but now that I have gotten my IH up and running (and past/passed smog) I have my Megajolt/EDIS ignition reinstalled and operational. Working out the ignition table in the n/a mode, but soon the turbo goes on. Here are my needs: Since I want to run an a/f gauge to work out the weir...

Something happened to my program

While I was editing cells and accidentally pushed some button or combination of buttons wrong. Now the little tool bar grayed out the "save" and "save as", as well as the "commit to flash" symbols. Nothing I do brings them back. Hooking the computer up to the vehicle wi...

Fuses

I'm essentially all wired up and my MJLT should arrive today or tomorrow. But I haven't completed the final wiring to it, and it's been a number of years since I did my last conversion. What fuse capacity do I use for the MJLT? I have access to 0.25 and 0.5 amp fuses. For the EDIS system (includes c...

I hate to be a pain, but where do I find your thread? I'm looking for that McM-C part number. I've done a crankfire on a Corvair turbo, with wonderful results, and am now putting this on an IH four-cylinder using a trigger wheel on the crank. Very easy. The IH V8 guys have a tougher adaptation for m...

Keith, Are you also over on the Corvair Center site? If not, go to it and google my name, and you'll turn up extensive postings and pics on how I did this to my (former) '66 Corsa turbo. My trigger wheel was a thin, stamped affair from some unknown OEM application (Jaguar, I am told). Regrettably, l...

I have other pics that really show how this went together, but I can only post one pic per post? Is there a way of multiple pics? I need to get this rebuilt engine running before I swap over the special turbo parts. I'm reeeeeeeal close. I've cast my own intake elbow (made my own pattern and sand ca...

Trigger-wheel made from pulley

Someone on this board hand-cut teeth into a pulley sheave for use on a SBC. That inspired a solution to my puzzlement in adapting an aftermarket wheel to my IH 196 c.i. four-banger. IH used a hub with stackable pulley arrangement like the Chevy. There are three sheaves possible, so I took a shallow ...

Shielded security alarm wire from Home Depot works fine. Something like 24 cents/foot.

HOORAY!!!!

I know about cars, its computers I need to learn about. The serial/usb adaptor driver didn't load properly. So I reloaded it, then because I'm stupid, figured out to actually recheck System to see what COM port changes occured as a result. Whaddayouknow. Now COM6 and COM7 usb was listed, but it took...

No dice

COM 2 is listed under ports, so I set the Config software to this setting, and it doesn't work.

Will try

I'll do that when I get home and can play with it. But I think I recall the following. Going to "system", there's that list and I went to ports. IIRC, the port was Com 2. Huh. So I should change the Configurator choice to that. Here's what I don't understand, as I'm computer challenged. Be...
