Default Cps

Just bolts in... The ECM will do the rest.

Rotate the engine and make sure u don't have any interference before you crank

Match up the old one with the new one. They should be the same length.

after the tranny was installed i pinched a wire on the old cps and shorted it out. new one was installed she fired right up. had an idle issue for a bit but she worked herself out of it. running and driving like a dream now. just have to get the front drive shaft bolted back to the t-case. going to do that sunday because im taking a trip to vermont to watch my cousin play college ball tomorrow. now i just got to get the old girl registered and inspected.
