Hi everyone

i will replace my TCI unit of 99 with 2006 model TCI unit. How i can connect it because new ones have different socket.

thanks

I am assuming we are talking about the ignition control module here?? I think you may have answered your own question.

I will bet a round of beers on the fact they are not interchangable, later modules are designed to work with a throttle postion sensor, something the early ones dont have, hence the difference.....has the later one got 3 extra connectors in the plug?

bladebj

yes you are right

However,  my carb is also new i think 2006's carb. and this carb has a circuit. arent these extra connectors of
new model ignition control unit for getting some inputs from carb (throtle position)?

The connectors may be there, but you still need a proper wiring harness to connect the new carbs to the new ignition module. So... You'll either have to figure out the wiring yourself, or replace the entire wiring harness with a 2006 model harness -- a process that may lead to further complications.

Another thing... The signal generator & rotor on the 04+ (1 pickup) is different than 89-02 (2 pickups). The timing and dwell of the signals sent to the ignition control module will be different.

Common sense in not very common.

:( so it will be better to use old ones .

thanks all

They are all correct ...
However I'd almost bet you can use the newer BB on the old one if you coded each wire with its function/origin point.
The other way would be much much harder.
Cool.
