Just curious... Is it possible to adapt an older style distributor
(non-optical-pulse) for inputs to these PCM's? The LT1's/LT4's have a
camshaft pin based opti-puke... err, optispark optical distributor
mounted just under the water pump on the front of the motor, that has a
nasty habit of failing (very susceptible to moisture damage - and it's
mounted under the water pump? ;) ). I doubt they'd want to put an
optispark on their motor, so, a conventional distributor would be
required...

(Thinking out loud... I suppose that you could give some kind of pulses
off of a crank trigger... I think that's what Electromotive does with
their opti-eliminator kit... Costs good $$, though...)
