1227749 Adaptation

[Bruce Plecan]

| If I am succesful I will probably be putting up an article on
| www.mirafiori.com  The '49 is a MAP sensor so I don't have to worry about
a
| AFM, but the ignition on th 49 is driven by a crank wheel

1227749 uses a distributor, in the syclone application (which the hac at
syty ref to)
Grumpy

and the whole
| reason I intend to do all of this is for turbo.  My father's spider has
| turbo, but I am going to add a cam and do some additional head work, along
| with lower compression so I figured to get the most out of it I need a
| reprogramable set up.  I figured it would be wise to start on a stock
motor
| so I don't melt a piston or anything on a good motor.
