PCM Ford electronic distributor installation instr

Thanks all.

I'll do a check this holiday to determine the mystery wires lol.

Page 16 comes directly from Warner, I contacted them and they shot it over to me.

Seems this thread has strayed a bit from its subject.

If still looking for dizzy info, it's possible this might contain some useful info:

Good job, where'd you find page 16?

Red to ground doesn't seem to pass the "sanity check" though.

I get dizzy looking at the picture, but like Pete said, low oil pressure warning light on the dash gets fed from that switch if I'm looking at the picture right

Here's a link to the v drive manual
Walters v drive manual

Unfortunately the page with the wiring diagram doesn't seem to be there

That is the neutral safety switch. One wire goes to the key switch and one goes to the starter relay.

That's way too much typing for us old simple minded guys that don't particularly like typing to begin with Hollywood

correctcraftfan coil mount   in a Google search gets the same results without quotes or slashes or any of that stuff.

Anyone have pictures of the coil/resistor location mounts from the electronic ignition kit as well as the bracket that goes towards the back where the 50 amp breaker is?

Thanks

Right hand rotation it is:

Not that it shouldn't eliminate your problem but it sounds like you are just shotgunning parts. Was your engine cranking over? Although, I guess it doesn't really matter at this point.

Electronic distributor kit for REVERSE Rotation (Right Hand) Motors. PCM# RK107026A That would be the right one and you wouldn't have to worry about doing gear swaps that can sometimes be not terribly straightforward So is the gear on the left on a distributor you purchased and the gear on the right out of your protec? The link above says RH but the picture of the distributor has a LH gear on it.

Hollywood, go to post #3 in this thread and you'll see the web address for the distributor he bought. Not a link there but the web address is right there.

Do you have any friends that could come over and help out? We certainly will continue with any information we can give.

I'm tending to agree with Pete on getting some help BUT make sure it's someone who understands that a 351 like the one in your boat can and does rotate backwards from a normal 351 in an automotive application.

The little diagram you have is good for cylinder locations and firing order, but you need to have #1 at Top Dead Center on the compression stroke and the rotor can be pointed at any tower on the cap. That tower is where #1 is,(you can aim it wherever you want) That's the hard part to understand and try to explain to someone. Then you work counterclockwise around the cap following the reverse rotation firing order. And you'll need a timing light because the initial installation will get you close enough to run it and then use the light to set the timing right.

It's harder to try to explain it, than to actually do it like Duane in Indy mentioned previously

Where do I need to connect this up to? There was also a light blue wire connected to the old Protec harness that unplugged from the harness. PCM Owner Engine Manual

The wiring diagram for your engine is on page 51 of the manual. In order to remove the Pro-tec you should have only needed to disconnect the trigger plug and the EMS connection. The neutral safety switch is wired to the wire harness plug but does not go to either of the Pro-tec parts. I would print out the wiring diagram and then use it to verify what wires you are cutting/disconnecting. It's pretty easy to follow. We can also use the same terminology from the diagram to walk you through it.

Looks like I am missing this tag but the manifold reads this.

It should be bolted to the intake manifold. I'm not a v-drive protec expert. TRBenj, Air206 or velde99 would know for sure.
