'98 L31 Vortec 350 distributorless custom setup??

[Ross Corrigan]

I just bought a '98 350 as above w/ 16k km's on it.  It's minus any EFI 
stuff and had a new edelbrock intake. I've sold teh intake and vortec heads 
to a friend so I can put my alum. rpm's or afr's on it (haven't decided 
which, will sell whichever I don't use) etc.  It's going into my 280ZX 
which has a 327 right now, so the aluminum/lighter weight is important for 
my weight balance/steering effort etc.

Back to my q. This engine has a plastic front cover and the seller told me 
what looks like a similar size for a 5/8 heater hose hookup on it's bottom 
pass. side is a crank angle sensor!  So after I got it home my heads 
spinning on the chance I might be able to make a distributorless ignition 
system without breaking the bank assuming I understood right this crank is 
already setup for this??

I"m v. green on ignition's so any url's etc are v. welcome.

I have a crane HI-6 new gathering dust and a used holley 4Di system.  I 
planned to use the 4Di system for this motor and was going to ask if the 
crane HI6 unit can be hooked up w/ the 4Di?  Now I need to know how/if what 
I need to go distributorless??  I have a set of MSD universal wires I was 
going to cut to replace my current worn out MSD's but now I'll hold off 
till I know which direction this ignition is going to take.

PS the motor will likely be run on a performer 600cfm for the first while 
till I sort out some other issues on my EFI list like new fuel 
lines/laptop/time to sort out etc. So the any changes if I go 
distributorless w/o the 4Di are of interest as well (the 4Di can control 
the timing curve as I understand it).

Thanks for any and all info.
