crossmember problem

[Doug213xrj]

There are two crossmembers one for V6s and one for V8s. Both will work for V6s or V8s but the right mount is needed. V6 crossmembers have the off set mount. The V8 is straight.

Where do those plugs plug in to? And what happens if they're not plugged in?

top one comes from the distributor and the bottom one comes from the computer the computer sends the fire to the distributor

Computer controls the timing and interacts with the CCC carb. If you're not running the complete system as originally installed, I would ditch the computer entirely. The early style HEI gets power from the single pink wire and the coil connection makes the fire through the module.

I just did so on my wagon, as the 2.5 year old reman CCC carb failed, and was a poor performer in both economy and power. The CCC works OK for a driver IF everything is there and working. The minute you delete or change any major component, all bets are off. My wagon had been hacked at by a shadetree before I bought it (non-CCC carb, {which I replaced with aforementioned reman CCC unit} but was still running the computer driven distributor). With a 267 2 barrel, TH350 and a 2.41 gear, it delivered a solid 13.5MPG regardless of driving conditions...which is horrible for that combination. I am hoping after the removal of the carb and distributor to see a decent improvement....heck my diesel dually with a 4.10 gear gets about 15MPG.
