1983 Electronic Spark Control System

I'm installing a larger engine into my 83 and was wondering if anyone was interested in the ESC system.It's complete.I realize this usually gets turfed but I thought there may be someone interested.

How's it going I'm new to this forum and I'm not looking to buy your ESC actually I wanna know what you did to delete the ESC? I have a 82 silverado and I to wanna put a bigger engine and wanna get rid of that feature. It's a PIMA, thanks

I actually transferred one of those systems over to a Dodge engine I had in my old Ramcharger.

I haven't got it running yet but my understanding is that the unit can be unplugged from the pink wire in the engine bay and the pink wire which normally feeds the esc will now directly power the distributor.You'll need a different distributor. Theres a tip in switch for the transmission that is parts of the esc and I'm not sure if disconnecting it will have any effect on the trans.I'm expecting it to be pretty straight forward.

You can use the same distributor just splice the black and green wire together. Then re time the engine. "Limit the admit of vac advance" don't just hook it up...

I found this yesterday and it seems pretty easy, I'm gonna try it, as far as the tip in I don't know if I have that on my truck, how would I know? I'm also just thinking of replacing everything with painless wiring, I just want a clean basic set up and for the truck to work properly, PW,PD locks, ac etc. If I go with painless does it come with all the connectors?
