1985 F250 swapping to a 7.3

BCGE201
Thank you for the add. In the process of brining back our Bullnose to life. Couldn't find a replacement 6.9 so in the process of installing an 89 7.3. Looking for some help adapting from the 6.9 truck harness with 7 wires to the 7.3 engine harness with 12 wires. Been searching all over for information but not finding everything I need to identify the wires and which ones are needed. 85 has a manual and the 7.3 had an auto. Sticking with the manual. Thanks in advance

Welcome to the Bullnose Forum!  Glad you joined.  

You'll want to start a thread about your project in the main section in order to get the most input.  Not everyone will see your question here in the NMSH folder.  (But I'm glad you posted here as an intro.)

Where's home?  We have a map, which you can see at Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu.  We can add you with a city/state or zip.  Maybe someone on her is near you?

Yes, Welcome!  

I'm no expert on IDI conversions, but I will tag our Admin Jonathan to your thread if you start one.

He can probably help.
