From DIY Plug-n-Play setups to starting from scratch to build your own harness, and from factory EFI conversions to MegaSquirt to carb-to-EFI conversions.

Some contain very detailed technical information and wiring diagrams, some are more general in nature. If you know of an article that should be featured here email me a link at [email protected].
