Hehehehe....(I've gotta do it)...
Actually, it's controlled via the cam position sensor in the distributor
which send the signal to the PCM which...blah blah blah... LOL
(Just messin' with ya Shane.) ;)

Subject: DML: Re: Mopar Performance Distrubutor vs. PCM
Actually it is the PCM that controls the injectors. The distributor
just lets the PCM know when cyl #1 is sequenced for injection. The
camshaft position sensor is located there and the PCM will not start the
injection sequence without that signal. Other than that function, the
dizzy also distributes the spark originating from a single coil to each
of the individual cylinders and drives the oil pump just like
conventional distributors.
Now - if you replaced the throttle body w/a carburetor, then it would
work because you will have replaced the spark and fuel delivery
mechanisms. Of course, then your gauges wouldn't all work due to lack
of proper signals (tach for example).
