AMC EFI from 94 Camaro

[Ken Kelly]

Ned,
	The 94 Camaro is an LT1 with The Opti-Spark distributor. This is a bad place to
start your design.

	The 8051 PCM used in the 94 Camaro wants to see the Opti-Spark ignition. It
would take a lot of work to use it with a normal distributor. I would start with
a PCM off a GM car with a normal distributor. You could then just transplant the
distributor electronics to you AMC.
