Could you post some specifics - like what processor and what chips are on 
the board.  I understand the ford system has the prom solder in place - and 
maybe even potted.  Could a standoff be solder in its place?  Are we 
talking surface mount or .100 lead spacing stuff? (I think they started 
them in 1982ish - kinda early for surface mount no?

I can look up the chips myself.

The reason I'm interested is that the ford unit was always sequential fuel 
injected - and got all its firing signal from the distributer.  Sounds like 
a neat system if you want a quick / complete computer to test out 
algorithms.

PS. does anyone have any info on the LT1 computer (chevy corvette, new 
firebird / camaro)  It is also a MAF sensor / sequential injection.
