1977 6.9 idi

[shorty]

I'm in the middle of putting a 6.9 idi into my 77 f100 and need a little help.

First, does anyone have the starter bolts or know a place to get them?

Second, I have looked, but can't find a list of what each wire color does that is in the larger plug coming from the motor.

Third, in the dash cluster I have a red light "bad econ" does any one know where that wire is located, terminated, or such so I can use that as my "wait to start" light?

Garys garagemahal should have all the diagrams you need. Check the evtm too as its easier to decipher.

After the install is done, I hope you are going to give the old girl some help with carrying that big engine around and maybe a little help stopping too. The IDI engines are nearly 1000 pounds, probably twice the weight of whatever engine came out of the truck (Even a big 460 is only about 700)
