Ford EEC-IV help

[Sven Pruett]

Greetings all,

I am new to this list and have found it to be a refreshingly 
detailed forum.  Though I can appreciate the dedication that many 
of you have in developing an entire EFI system, my interests are 
much more specialized.  In short, I am interested in manufacturing 
my own "piggyback" chips for Ford EEC-IV and EEC-V processors.  I 
am admittedly a novice when it comes to this process so please 
pardon whatever academic questions I may have.  Anyway,
here goes:

1)  I am interested in corresponding with any of you who have 
experience working with the Ford EEC-IV and V series computers.  
Particularly, those who have successfully extracted and manipulated 
the code from these processors.

2)  I had heard rumor that some members of this list have 
constructed real-time data collection devices that monitored every 
sensor in/out signal for a period of time.  If this is true, would 
you be willing to share such technology?

3)  Is there available any software programs that can successfully 
interpret the Ford Code into something recognizable to the average 
human?

4)  What programming language should I begin to familiarize myself 
with in order to begin work with the Ford code?  So far, my 
programming experience has revolved around developing Windows 
automotive software in Layout 3.01c and a little Quickbasic.

5)  Having absolutely no experience in manufacturing my own boards, 
etc.  Can any of you recommend a few good references to guide me in 
the process or someone who can perform such work economically when 
presented with a concept?

I realize these questions may be a tall order.  However, I would 
appreciate any constructive feedback from this list.

Kindest regards,
