Spark plug firing logic is only waste spark so no big deal. Just need
to follow the wires to pick out the 2 cylinders that fire together. I
bought two 4-post Accel EDIS coils off some guy w/a mustang from ebay
for $35 that would light them babies right purty. Other than that its
getting a signal off the crank sensor for RPM and wiring up 8 injectors
and an air control valve (existing TB should suffice), a temp and O2
sensor and call it done. Use your ECU of choice or use my (low rent)
favorite - Megasquirt 8)
oops forgot the dashboard - hmm that sux - I'd have a full custom job
anyway so .... wait, what about ABS, airbag control, trans control....
um we are talking about a race car huh 8)
