Cosworth BOA - Ford ECU Pinout

Your bible. Though to be honest the major components are easy as the various multiplugs can only be plugged into the correct matching components. It's the more subtle connections that cause the headaches, such as which wire switches the blumin thing on? In this case there was no bespoke switch on wire, it was incorporated into what they referred to as the 'Power Splice'. In this case it is pin 57. But this alone won't make the engine run as the various sensors and drivers also need feeding from the power splice. Fortunately it is all built into the engine loom.
There are some additional notes at the bottom of the list.
