The correct angke actually is NOT the tie rod and the control arm. It’s to the point on the spindle where the ball joint inserts into it and the a arm to k member bushings. Slight difference, but it needs to be accounted for

LMR usually has a 10% off sale on Vortech's once a year. That's when I bought mine. Saves a couple hundred bucks.......

Yup. I've tossed one in the cart a few times when the 10% offer comes out and hovered over the buy button. So tempting.

Made some small progress.

Had to modify a 351 alternator bracket for v belt to get the alternator setup the way I needed it.
The regulator got moved and made permanent, the sensor below is a flex fuel sensor as I plan to monitor and tune for ethonal content.

I need to get some more vacuum line and mount the vacuum block, I also need one more 6an 90 fitting... the one on the regulator is bugging me.

Took a little break from the car for a bit, working on the floors in the house ect. decided to finally put a real stereo in the F150, went with 7" kenwood excelon component in the front and center dash, Kicker CS 6.75 in the rear doors.
While i am in the doors I am also adding sound deadening, I got the front doors done this morning and man what a difference the deadener made with how the doors feel and sound when you shut them.
The excelon speakers sound amazing on the stock radio, I have a pioneer 400w class FD amplifier coming that I will put behind the radio in the dash. I dont want to mess with any of the factory wiring, I found a company that makes the harness for the amp all plug and play.

I have found that my time is worth more than anything right now... so on this one I am taking the easy road.

Yes I did, in that model they removed the ms3x card (expansion) and placed a microsquirt module in its place as a tcu.

I am doing an ms3pro with a separate microsquirt module tcu. The benefit of the way I am doing it is more i/o and flexibility.

This isn't correct. We removed no card/module to add trans control. We added a microsquirt module for the TCU but we did not remove anything to do so. You can also still add a cased micrquirt via CAN for added i/o flexibility (though we've already got so much i/o that it would be rare to ever need to do such a thing.

Noted and corrected in my previous post.
FWIW I have already maxed out the i/o on both the tcu and ms3pro. So for me is not difficult to use all the inputs. (I do still have some pwm and digital left open but need at least 6 more analog channels.)
I am designing my own expansion card but that takes alot of time, the simplest way to get the inputs I need is likely to just use a tinyio from jbperf.
That is unless you have a better option?

Thanks.

Yes, it's certainly "possible" to max out the i/o's but it's certainly not "normal", especially if some of the stuff you're controlling can use the digital ones.

The tynyio is likely the best option.
