Thanks for the note dude:

I'm intending to start from scratch, having read everything else, I dont =
think I can do it any better, but I will learn a fair bit re-inventing =
the wheel ! I thought about using somebody elses electronics, but I have =
to get into designing in the engine compartment( besides which, I didnt =
buy a UV light box to etch PCBs with for nothing!.. I'd better be seen =
to be using it else my young lady will go apeshit about the pair of =
shoes she didnt get)

Mark.

Howdy Mark.  Can I suggest using an EEC-IV ECU .  This wonderfull device =

uses part throttle and WOT spark maps for it's ignition.  I don't know =
if=20
it will function if it's not running the injectors though.  You'd know=20
more about fooling it than I.
Just a thought.
P.S. I've seen a web site for a digital ign. system.  I think you can =
get=20
to it from the DIY EFI home page.  You've probably already checked this=20
one out though.
later dude
