Most Liked Negative Review
This is not an exact fit to your wiring connections
This is not an exact fit for a 1989 5.7 Liter Chevy engine as the website says. This has no wiring connections to connect to the ecm or old coil wires. If you hook the power wire from the old coil to this unit you will get spark. However the fuel injectors now do not work. There is nothing to trigger the fuel system from the ignition system as the system is designed. So you need to hook the tachometer lead from this unit to one of the 4 original wires that connected to the oem ecm. In this case you connect the tach lead to the "Dist Ref Hi" wire (purple) in the original system and the vehicle runs. Whether this works long term who knows. May return.
