What? No Installation Instructions or Documentation?
All documentation is included within the software. Install the appropriate software and go to Help. All the information is there starting with the installation.
Helpful conversion:
I don't know how many times people have asked "what the hell is a kilopascal" in terms that they are used to thinking about.
Here's an easy way to interpret that axis. Since vertical axis is manifold vacuum and/or pressure (MAP), go to Toolbox/Preferences and click on Display MAP as PSI. Negative PSI is vacuum, positive PSI is ... PSI ... duh. To convert from a negative PSI to inches of vacuum just double the number. So -5 PSI on the scale is 10 inches of vacuum. Simple, right? If you are using a 1-Bar Map sensor the vacuum will go from 0 at the top to some level of maximum vacuum at the bottom such as -12. That is the same as no vacuum to 24" of vacuum.
Injector Types:
There are many different styles and types of fuel injectors but here's a picture of the basic normal vs stubby types. Note also that there are different connectors with the most common being EV1 and EV6. Also here is the injector offtime information for Holley injectors.
IAC Wiring Considerations
Here's a drawing of the IAC wiring options. Customers buying the Holley EFI systems do not realize that Holley likes to use Chrysler IACs because they flow more air than a standard GM LS style. If you are configuring a system that uses a "standard" GM IAC you will have to make a minor wiring change in order for the IAC to work.
To find out which type of IAC you have, look at the drawing below.
With an ohm meter measure between the center two pins (B and C) of your IAC.
If it’s an open – you have a GM style IAC.
If you see resistance you have a Chrysler style IAC
