    I think that was it.

    Magnum and Wiring Swap

    Maybe we're both imagining it, who knows? I feel like I read about it a couple of years ago on an MS2/3 forum or one the that was Magnum motor specific on Tapatalk. And I'm pretty sure the Magnum forum got shut down because I can't find it. Maybe I'll search the interwebs and my bookmarks for it.

    I believe this is the cam: https://www.compcams.com/xtreme-energy-computer-controlled-212-218-hydraulic-roller-cam-for-chrysler-magnum.html It was already in the motor when I got it. I used to have the cam card but I can't find it now. And I agree on watching fuel economy as in indication of a...

    Was the truck teal blue? If it's the same one I'm thinking of, I remember reading about on a DIY Autotune/MS2/3 forum. Even if it isn't the same truck, a turbo'ed Magnum Dakota would be pretty rad.

    The thought has crossed my mind.

    Yeah, it's a completely different car with this motor.

    Also, the Mopar TSB 18-16-92 rev a made a difference. It idles smoother and runs better at low RPM. My commute to work is 3.8 miles roundtrip, so I haven't driven it much after "setting" the fuel sync. I'll drive it some more and see how it is. I will say that this motor pulls much better than...

    To be honest, I don't know the minimal for an OBD I harness since I had an entire Dakota harness that I put in my car. I would think it would be similar to the OBD II harness like TT5.9mag said, just battery voltage, switched ignition voltage, start signal, and a ground. You can download FSM...

    No problem. Some of the other swaps I've read, they just used the engine harness and tied into the start circuit from their original wiring. I could have done that, but I prefer the hard way.

    Magnum and Wiring Swap

    Up until yesterday, I had not driven the car. I got it together enough for a test drive. Initially it fumbled and misfired going up a hill and I thought I was going to bring it back to the house. But it cleared up and started running better. Good enough to drive around some more. It has a hard...

    Thanks for posting this video. He really explains the process well. Someone posted it in another thread an it's how I set the engine to mechanical zero. Thanks, the harness was time consuming. I worked on it when I had time. It took about two months a few hours at a time. Having good schematics...

    I remember hearing about how important it is that the fuel sync is set. I need to get or borrow a scan tool to adjust it.

    In another thread about test running the engine here: Attempt at test running a Magnum I was given great advice by knowledgeable guys on this forum. One thing that was recommended was mechanically zero the timing. I went through that procedure and haven't moved the distributor since. I'll put a...

    The result of hours of tracing schematics, soldering, and taping: What I'm trying to figure out now is the missing when it's given constant throttle. Any advice would be appreciated.
