[V8] ECU grounding, etc. (abridged)

[dsaad@icehouse.net]

I am not sure what electrical manual you are using, but I have the real paper
one I bought along with the microfiche. This paper manual was newer than the one
floating around on the manual CD. Since you have a 91 5 speed, there could be
some issues.

I thought the big changes were wiring for the 5-speed, and the door lock/alarm
was a little different.

If it gets down to it, I can try to fax you pages, or even photo copy and mail.
One day I plan to get the whole manual scanned and added to the CD - but that
day seems to be getting farther and farther away...


btw, have you actually measured fuel pressure and flow?
I like to make double sure that sort of stuff is OK before tearing into wireing.
