[Gmecm] a question of timing

[davesnothereman at netscape.net]

The Edist guys said "No way?"  To 7749 + E-dist?  Hard to believe that. 
 First Edist I ever saw was hooked to a 7749.

You need a cam and crank signal to use the 7749 and Edist.  Cam signal 
can't cross the timing signal.  Why did they say "no go?"

  Thanks Will,
 eDist was my first choice, but when the eDist folks told me it
 wouldn't work with a 749, and that I needed to buy their engine
 management system, I went looking for something else.
 The MSD 6010 has RPM/MAP programmable spark curve, download
  software, and "baseline" bin files to get you started. All for 
$270-$290 US.
 It plugs into your factory LS1 coil paks and sensors.
 If you add a carb & intake manifold your LS1 is ready to go.
 But, worshipping at the "Altar of Cheap EFI & Boost", I want the
 749 to manage the fuel. I'd like it to be as idiot-proof as possible,
 at least until I become a smarter idiot 8-).
