Turns out it was an Ignition wire that wasn't wired in LOL, shes running again.

so I bought one and installed it, haven't tried to start it because replacing spark plugs and letting them sit overnight in ATF, but i read the volts on the ignition coil and its getting 12 volts, tried switching the wires around on the resistor that didn't change it. It should be reading about...

So the reason I had thought that was because of the turbo diesels, the turbo Cummins makes tons of power real low, @3,000. That might just be a diesel thing, IDK.

Oh okay, are there any free software you now of

okay, its not a big deal if i do i do have all the front end

Yeah the manifold i have now could probably just bolt on oh okay that would be sweet

would getting a used one hurt?

Thanks
