I have a 1991 with the complete Edelbrock performer RPM package, cam,heads,
intake and carb on a .030 over 318. All my factory gauges work except the
tach. The computer is still there but not hooked up to the motor. I have a
Jacobs pro street ignition system that is fired by a MSD distributor. I
couldn't get the factory ignition to do a thing! So now the computer thinks
that the key is just turned forward,even when the engine is running. It
doesn't even give me a check engine light. Now my computer is a pre-mag but I
would guess a magnum computer would act the same way. The only other problem
I had was with the charging system. I had to run a 12 volt power source into
the computer to get the altenator to charge. I got some good info on this
project from Scott Miller. I'm not sure if he's still on this list, he has a
Shelby Dakota with a 360 that is carbureted, BUT his was a pre-mag just like
mine. I'm only guessing that a magnum computer would react the same. Hope
this helps out. Good luck if you decide to give it a shot!!!
