What torque should be used on the EEC-IV processor mounting bracket/bolt?

The document says to torque the processor mounting bracket/bolt to 4-10 in-lb and cautions not to overtighten the bolt.

What should I check before installing the Motorsport EEC-IV processor?

Check the 60-pin connector area for an orange gasket. If it is not present, carefully remove it from the production processor and install it on the Motorsport processor.

Where is the EEC-IV processor located on 1992 and later F-Series trucks?

It is removed from the firewall location, and the document notes it may be necessary to loosen and lower the inner fender well (see the appropriate shop manual).

Can I use other connector caps on the fuel injector connectors?

No. The document cautions: 'DO NOT USE ANY OTHER CONNECTOR CAPS !!!' Only install the Motorsport fuel injector connector caps to the production fuel injector connectors.

What harness goes on the Motorsport processor?

Install the Motorsport overlay 60-pin harness on the Motorsport processor, then re-install the production 60-pin engine harness, without overtightening the locking bolts on the 60-pin connectors.

This is page 7 of 9 of the Ford Motorsport F-Series Mass Air installation instructions (document IS-M-9000-T51*, dated 1/21/93). It concludes the '1992 & Later EEC-IV Removal' section with Steps 20-22: loosening the retaining nuts holding the plastic cover to the EEC-IV processor, removing the cover, and removing the EEC-IV processor from the firewall location, noting that the inner fender well may need to be loosened and lowered per the shop manual. The page then begins the 'Installation Procedures' with Steps 1-7: installing the Motorsport EEC-IV processor into its mounting place (checking the 60-pin connector area for an orange gasket and transferring it from the production processor if needed), re-installing the processor mounting bracket/bolt torqued to 4-10 in-lb (with a caution not to overtighten), re-installing the kick panel/plastic push pins and scuffplate if required, installing the Motorsport overlay 60-pin harness on the Motorsport processor, re-installing the production 60-pin engine harness (cautioning against overtightening the locking bolts on the 60-pin connectors), and installing the Motorsport fuel injector connector caps onto the production fuel injector connectors, with a strong warning not to use any other connector caps.
