I didn't know you had an electromotive on there before. I do know that they require 60-2 though.

Megasquirt is not for use on pollution controlled vehicles. Any advice I give is for off road use only.

Just ignition, they had a product way back in the Tec II days called an Opti-Spark eliminator. I put it on in about 1998, It let me ditch the LT1's Opti spark for a wasted spark setup and had a small module that generated the hi and low resolution pulses to keep the stock ecu happy and ran the spark timing commanded by the stock ecu. It worked well for me, and let me run a double roller timing set on the LT1 to hold up to the spring pressures I was using on the solid roller. In those days I was still burning proms for the stock ecu.
I think they only sold about 20 of them and I was one :).

Yeah, just saying that even their modern stuff requires 60-2 as I understand it.

I made a 36-1 wheel that fits between the balancer and crank pulley. (actually cut by another squirter on waterjet since my plasma CNC isn't quite as accurate)

I'm loving the toothed wheel and LS1 coils on my RamJet 350 compared to the distributor setup.

Will there be a pull-up resistor (to +5VDC) in the VR input circuit? I plan on using Vortec cam (CMS) and crank (CKS) sensors.
