Saturn EFI

[Jemison Richard]

Gene,

Another quick question.  If I understand you correctly, I should be able to
use any GM ECU to control my efi?  If so, I'd want to go with one that was
very common (and therefore known to most on this list!).  Which ECU would
you recommend under these circumstances?
