Re: [Amc-list] 4.0 head on 1970 232...

IMHO, I'd go with the best looking harness and connectors.
Get the ECU from a matching trans car if possible, but that does not really matter.
Next, grab the sensors and ecu form another one or two.
Last I can sell you a complete 88 TSM, for a reasonable price that will help you.
The renix connectors have gotten brittle over the years, that's what I'd look for.
91 up is a more diagnosable system, but we can talk you through most problems.
You know electronics, so You should do fine.
Get , spare, parts!!!!!
Buy'em all if the price is right!

Oh, one other drawback, somehwat, ecu has to be inside the car with a renix, it's not sealed.
But, it also makes it repairable if your an electronics geek.....

Still in SF, just found a free open network to borrow for a while...
