Hey everyone. I've got a 2nd gen 6bt mounted in my 87 1 ton. I'm using the dodge automatic and still gotta find an np205 29 spline. I bought a full donor truck so I wanted to use the dodge pcm, but I can't find any info online with wiring the pcm into my 87. As far as everything else related to the swap I've got it pretty much licked, it's just the wiring side of it that's holding me back. If anyone has ever done this or has any input on how I could go about wiring this, I'd appreciate it very much. Thank you

2nd gen dodge owner here.

PCM only controls
4th gear shift point (You could use toggle switches)
Torque converter lock up (You could use toggle switches)
Voltage regulator for Alternator (Install an external regulator off a first gen Dodge)
Grid heaters (You could use toggle switches)

It only takes 2 wires to run a cummins. Key hot for injection pump and a hot wire to the starter
RPMs for Tach
