Ed,
A long while ago you respnded to a question of mine "TPI vs. CCCS, Loaded and Opinionated Question" with this response:

With CCCS you need a $150 manifold. The only 'problem' is that you cannot burn chips for the CCCS computer, thus you are stuck with the stock spark curve. HOWEVER, it is my contention (as well as several others) that CCCS does NOT need a computer controled distributor to be happy. A regular distributor should work as long as you run a signal from the tach wire to the distributor reference signal on the ECM. There *might* be some filtering needed, but nothing difficult at all. And then you could tune the advance curve the old fashioned way with springs and weights. And still have the blazing economy and emmisions of CCCS.

You had replied to me about how to do this, but I have lost it. Do you remember what you had instructed me to do to get rid of the computerized distributor?

Thank you VERY much!

Mark
