This story about the FBO box sounds just like mine. Again, how can the harness or connection of the harness be questioned when (like me), he was able to plug in a stock box and his engine would run?

( check the link I posted there )










interesting. i bought this set up http://designed2drive.com/ to put HEI on my car. still haven't gotten around to installing it.. its a lot cheaper then that FBO box...

According to Don it's not, and it doesn't operate like one either, it just happens to look similar to one, but you would have to ask him yourself for further explination or perhaps a better description. He also stated that most of the cost for the unit is tied up in the billet Mopar style box, and not the part that's in it.





who knows what it really is. lol


It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

The funny thing is that I almost took the back off and looked at it. Oh, well it's water under the bridge now.

Thanks again Nacho for posting that other post for us.

Well, I'm having issues already. Once warmed up it doesn't want to start, no fire. I'm going to call him tomorrow.

Joe, I had thought about buying the one that you posted a long time ago when I first seen it. The first time I think that I seen anything like it....I was at an early Hemi guy's place...Kent Redd.....he had one under a plate behind the carb on a 271 Dodge Hemi. "Just run four wires" he said.

Other than the box is a little expensive in my opinion, I like the idea of it looking stock and not having to rewire....seeings I just done a ton of rewiring under the hood on this thing. It looks like the aftermarket has tons of these modules...looks like MSD has one now that looks like a stock GM piece.

I've got a pix of the back of this that I'll pm to anybody if they are wanting to see what it looks like.

Just to be clear, I never was posting anything in this thread to bash Don! I was just posting a question on trouble shooting ideas. Which I got some thanks Moparts.

Well, I told him what was happening and he had me tighten up the pickup to reluctor clearance in the dizzy and wala.

Thanks Don.
