Forum finally let me upload some pictures.
I got a converter. I did not get a harness.
I have a B&M ratchet shifter that accommodates 3 or 4 speeds.
And yeah I was more asking if we felt like the 34 sprag direct drum was worth it at 600 ftlbs. If I decide to rebuild it before using it, I would probably replace it anyway, but I might take the dude at his word that its a runner and just see what happens. Just toss in that HD-2 shift kit, change to the new style plug and throw it in with a controller.
I have also considered using the stock converter until a good deal on a performance one comes across my lap locally. Not that big of a deal to change a converter. What Ive actually been thinking is going to the big track and chasing 11.90s, than if I hit that I would be more okay with tossing in the OD and living without a big money converter for a while. I just really want to be able to say its an 11 second car. I had 1/8 mile times last year that make me think I can do that on the current setup.
As far as manually shifting it, I have considered that in the past, but because I have the terminator kit, I would probably upgrade to the Max and take full advantage of the electronic capabilities.
The other option that I have to ask Holley/EFI systems pros about is if I can output the items I would need (RPM, TPS) from the Terminator, to a standalone shift unit. Which while a second box would be annoying, it might save me $500. Upgrading my terminator box as I mentioned is $1100 and the will give you a $100 rebate for your old unit. Im not sure if a working Terminator X ECu would be worth more than $100 on eBay.
I know the Terminator has auxiliary hookups that you can use for extra gauges and whatnot, but I dont know if you can set specific outputs.
