Range Rover Classic EAS Conversion
Monday, December 17th, 2007EAS Conversion Tech Article
After talking to many fellow roverholics (Yes, I mean you Paul!), I decided to take the leap and get an old Range to use as a heavy trail rig. My goal was just to find a truck in good condition and running for the most part. After look around, mainly on the west coast, I did find some very worthy trucks. After working out the details of the purchase with my wife, I decided to by a 93’ LWB. Initially, I did not believe I was going to buy anything that still had the stock suspension in it. Amazingly enough, the truck still had the working EAS system in it. The bags did not look replaced as they were very worn. (more…)
I drove my ‘87 Rangie home the night before, and it was running just fine. I don’t rebebmer if I worked on it or not, but the next morning it wouldn’t start. It didn’t even sound like it wanted to try. I quickly discovered that I had no spark. Great, the amplifier module is fried, and I don’t have a spare. I remembered hearing rumors that a GM module could be used with some minor modifications. I searched and searched, but could find no Rover related information about the swap, but I did find information. I found that the module I needed to try is a 4 wire module. The part numbers for the Chevy module needed are: NAPA ECHTP45 Wells DR100, Niehoff DR400, AC Delco D1906. So here is the story of what I did.
