[Diy_efi] dis 90 cutlass v6 3.1

[Lee M. Lemoine]

The 235 and 292 (or was it 250) straight six was a pretty popular motor from
what little i know about it.  We used to have one in one of our work
trucks.  I know the Megasquirt system allows for a magnetic pickup on the
actual crank pulley, as i'm sure you could do that with this setup as well.
What my thought would be is...  next time your in the junkyard...  take a
few distributors off of old GM v6's -- Fieros, first generation cavaliers
(v6s) some older Chevy Citations, and there are a few applications which
could be used  (4.3 liter GM truck engines although i'm not too familiar
with them... and i'm pretty sure V6 camaros used distributorized timing
signals)    Once you get the signal, the rest of the injection should go
relatively easily.

Cheers
