So im thinking of buying one, but i have a few questions (damn there is alot of reading involved)
So the Ms II has spark control, or so i read, can i use this feature with msd6 btm and a stock distributer/coil setup ?
The MS wiring harness has me slightly confused, so it plugs into the unit and i have to add the appropriate GM plugs for the sensors? or do i splice near the factory ecu? or am i cutting those wires to the ecu and splicing with the wires that go to the MS ?
The Stimulator i understand helps you check your wiring job, and helps you get to know the MS, it connects directly to the MS or do i need a cable ?
Thx guys, back to reading

As for the wiring, you can do it either way. If you want to replace the ECM, get a short megasquirt harness and cut and splice it into the appropriate connectors under the passanger side dash.
If you want to redo the harness for the sake of having a neat engine bay, go ahead.
Id like to run both, or mostly just leave the factory ECU to do whatever it does minus running the engine, so in theory i could go to a junk yard get all the connectors and wire them up to the MS cable and plug them into the factory sensors?
Will this cause a problem with the factory ECU not being able to read those sensors, seeing as they will be unplugged ?
That is interesting. I've never owned a '7730 ECM. That is good to know.
Would it be possible for him to use a buffer from an earlier car?
The megasquirt is set up to use the 16022621 ESC module from the older cars, so he could use that to condition the knock signal.
