My own little idea I took the stock bp pulley the 2 belt style and put it into the lathe and made into single groove instead of having to use little ole v-belt pulley off b3 https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/s/?...attd&safe=1&zw

Plan to finish up mount tommorrow and wire in

Took couple days do to weather installed new pulley started wiring finished the injector harness and all the other plugs besides the 2 that run to the ecu now would it be easier if I removed the dash to do this?

If you can get a set of ratchet wrenches from Autozone for about 25.00 or so, you can unbolt the fuse panel and get to the bolts. It took me about 30 minutes of actual work time to swap the ECU in mine. It's a 10mm bolt. One is easy to get, the other one is the reason for the ratchet wrenches.
Oops, I thought you were talking about changing the ecu. You can hook up the 2 wires without pulling the dash.

Thanks for that lol I found out the ecu in the escort is an aftermarket one and intend on using it instead of the stocker

Go man!
