I didn't say that it couldn't be done. Bruce Plecan did it a
couple years ago. There are many ways to accomplish a goal.
My post was highlighting the decision process that led me away
from eDist at the time. I'm sure it's a great product. MSD, on the
other hand, got me the signal I need for $269, with a complete
plug'-n-play programmable ignition for the LS1. That sounds
easier to me.
