I´m pretty certain the injector timing is based on the crank sensor. At
least on the older (´93) SBEC, there is NO distributor sensor. The
distributor is just there to distribute sparks. Unless the dist. is way out
of sync (you´ll be burning cap contacts), the engine´s timing can be
adjusted quite a bit.
It occurred to me that you could make a dash-controlled injector/spark
timing adjustment by mounting the crank sensor on a linear stepper motor. I
think this would only be of benefit if you had longer than normal duration
cams, or were running nitrous.
