Memcal: No. . . as far as I know, never tried a '7165 Memcal in a '7730. I usually convert a V6 '7730 Memcal to a V8 7730 Memcal. https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/diy-...l-mod-run.htmlQuote:

Sure it is getting a reference pulse from the ignition control module. The module can fail, still provide a spark and not send a reference pulse to the ECM. Wiring between the distributor and ECM can also fail resulting in the same.Quote:

Awesome to learn the netress is the same.Quote:

Thanks everyone, I did get my old 7747 to run engine although not very well. i have read it is possible but would be better off moving to the 7730.
Forgive me but what is netress?, and to I need to add a resistor to the knock sensor or just connect the esc to B8 on the 7730
Yes, that is correct. The 3.9k ohm ks works only with real v8 esc knock boards. The 86-89 netress on the 165 will have a different number on them than the aujp,anjf but the 89 165 netress was the same part number as 90-92 730 ecm. They all work and get the same firing rate and lhm.Quote:

Would I be correct the netress is a network of resistors used limp home fueling?Quote:

another question, you said connect knock sensor to B8, the pin out has it connected to F9. so am I to use B8 because I am not using a memcal specifically for the 7730????Quote:

Or move from b8 to f9 and use a 3.9 resistor? Seems like everything i have read does not really address the 7730 with 7165 mem cal which does not have the knock filter on memcal.
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Possibly an ESC Module is required.
The picture below is for TBI not TPI and is for reference only, do not use as a wiring diagram.
1227730 TPI did not use an external ESC Module, but many TBI computers used external ESC Modules.
The early TBI computers, with external ESC Modules used a 100K Ohm knock sensor.

Just turn of the ks in the $8d tune 020c o20d iirc
Thanks For the info, however I am having bigger issues with 7730 the car ran with 7747 ecm although not very well, with the 7730 I have spark, the injectors are firing but will not run.
as far as I can tell VATS is disabled. Any thoughts???
I'm pretty sure that won't work.Quote:

Modifying the '7730 V6 Memcal for V8 is low cost, simple, and very effective. I've been there, done that, and the results have provided many, many miles of smiles.:jfj:

7165 can run $12P Holden speed density code.
More Information, How to connect ESC module in place of a Memcal knock filter see attached.
$12P is good code.Quote:

Would you have a part number by chance.Quote:

I see some clarification might be required when converting a ‘7730 V6 Memcal to V8.Quote:

3. Connect Knock Sensor connector wiring directly to ‘7730 pin F9.
Hey All, 7730 installed w/v6 mod memcal, had to change injector flow rate to 24 to get it to clear flood and run, the biggest issue is I a getting CTS & MAT Low errors they are connected to E16 & F 16 grounded to B5& B6.
Tuner Pro RT latest and & $8D. Both worked connected to earlier ecm . is it an addressing issue or what ???
both edited to show F instead of Celsius reading 32 and not changing, start up engine temp reads 265 stone cold????????????????????
The schematics I have for the 7730 Sensors:
F16 - MAT Signal
B5 - MAT Ground (Low Reference)
E16 - CTS Signal
B6 - CTS Ground (Low Reference)
Maybe try the attached $8D .adx file, "WITHOUT" the 10K jumper on the ALDL Cable.

Thanks, Dave not using 10k jumper and wired as shown, belive I have a bad ecm ordered a replacement , reason being have issues with both circuts what are the chances of that??
Seems like this car just don't want to run, have had one issue after another
Thnks All for the input,
Now that i have earlier issues resolved, I had to move injector flow rate to 24 from 19 ( i had 22lb injectors but was having issues with them, so for now 19 it is) i am running an 84 corvette. moved from crossfire tbi to mpi SD.
the question is:::: Should I continue to adjust flow rate to resolve the rich condition or adjust VE??? I Know with TBI adjust BPW until close then VE.
I’m thinking injector flow to correct rich is to increase the injector flow rate.
For example the WBO2 is showing AFR’s averaging 12.4 with an injector flow rate of 22 lb/hr. After increasing the injector flow rate to 24 lb/hr the AFR’s are averaging 13.8.
Increasing the injector flow rate makes the computer “think” less fuel / smaller injector pulse width is needed.
I adjust the VE Table when the data log shows some AFR’s are Lean and some AFR’s are Rich.
Adjusting injector flow is course tuning and adjusting VE Table is fine tuning.
Most if not all 305 TPI engines had 19 lb injectors as original equipment.
Thanks Dave was very helpful, now on to the next question now the car is running idle is ok when hot, but really rich when cold, is there something like a choke that can be adjusted separately from flow rate & or VE??
I use Log File Analyzer for $8D Tuning:

Log Analyzer Quick Tuner -- Tuning Made Easy - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards
Thanks Dave W. it looks interesting however it will not run on my win11 with office 360(latest Ver.) getting error "hidden module not compatible"
Possibly send gearhead-EFI member 84Elky a private message about the Win 11 errors, he’s the author of the analyzer tool.Quote:

Maybe LOG FILE ANALYZER-v11 will work for you?
Thanks Dave W. ver 11 loaded and seems to work, ELKY84 I cant find him seems like he is no longer around, whent and downloaded a another analyzer tool called table hack I got it thru your link above, it looks interesting but I need to get some data logging done now that the car is running fairley well
Update. 84Elky
