Hey there MontyMcV, You have helped me in the passed on a few questions about my turbo motor swap. I have the motor in and all plumbed up. I ran the wire harness as Discribed in the Turbo bible but still no spark! I have the upgraded sparkbox from an 88, Tapped into the stock monty harness.
There were pictures in the turbo bible section from kevinC
showing there connection points and stuff but I cannont see the picuters just red X's. So anyway Not sure at this point
I pulled the motor from a running starion so I dont think anything is bad. Any pointers for this new venture?

Thanks for your time.


Been a while since I did mine, and I was a newb then, so no great pearls of wisdom likely to come from me. Some comments/questions:

1. You say you have the newer knock box, but that it is tapped into the stock monty harness. What do you mean by that? You should be using the Quest main engine harness and splicing that into the Monty under the dash.

2. There is a part in the install where a wire needs to be pulled from the ECU to the coil. Either that, you you have to work with the Monty's and get it connected properly. I did the former and had no troubles. There was another guy who was just a few steps behind me in time sequence who had trouble with his and it worked out when he pulled the wire to the coil. Really busy at work right now. Try searching for my user and for 'dadrab' for threads back upwards of five years ago now.
