The level of completion will be different for each individual. The required labor to accomplish the task is far less than the labor to remove all evidence. Where as one individual may know the whys and what fors of the conversion and is intelligent enough to know what devices and peripheral equipment is no longer needed, others may not understand the workings of an internal combustion engine but still chop into whatever wire someone on line said to splice into. Walking the latter thru removing a wire and vacuumed harness without destroying the basic alt/temp/ oil pressure wiring as well as neutral start and reverse lights electric choke ect ect ect is an invitation to disaster.Of all the stuff I've read on the Duraspark conversion, no one says what happens with all of the left-over wiring. I have wires on the passenger side of the engine compartment just sitting on the inner fender and battery box. Is there anything there that's (re)used or should I just unplug it all? Do people also remove the 'brain box' from behind the passenger side kick panel?
I’ve done two duraspark conversions in BIIs. Neither one has any remains of the computer system in the truck.
Some want it clean and neat. Others just want it to run. Still some just want a big red easy button to solve their dilemma. Whatever path you embark on , enjoy.
