Resorce? [was: Distributorless CFI???]

[Fredric Fitzgearld]

Well...

I can't believe that none of you guys have this answer.   :)

Do any of you know of a book, or something, that might give me some help 
on CFI inputs, outputs, specs, and stuff like that?  Is this type of 
information in the Ford shop manuals?  

Sorry if this seems trivial but it appears to be a doable challenge for 
me.

TIA,

FEF

All,

First, let me say that I'm amazed at the accumulative knowledge of this 
list.  It is am honor to be on this list, at all.   :)

Now, forgive me if this seems like a stupid question but I haven't found 
answers in the archives.

I understand that the computer on a '85 Merc 302 (CFI) communicates with 
the distributor, in some way.  And, viae verse...  Is there a way to fool the 
computer into thinking that the distributor is there so I can use my stock 
electronic ignition? 

Ideally, I would like to use my performer intake, stock '70ish ignition, 
and '85 CFI on my '66 289.  Is it possible to use just the fuel stuff 
and fool the other inputs into thinking everything is fine?  I'm even 
willing to make manual adjustments on the fly, with tuning pots, if it's 
possible.  IMO, it's better then a carb, by a far cry.

Any other help, or comments, are welcome.

Thanks for the tolerance,

FEF
