Call MADMAN I can give you all the wire colors and schematic. Plus the tricks in syncing the distributor.

A couple questions...

I didn't see anyone answer the question about why the MSD stub can't provide both signals required (hi-res for the eDist, low-res for the crank signal to the ECU). Anyone know?

Second question... my coil brackets and harnesses just showed up, and I assumed that the bolts which hold the coils on screw into the brackets themselves, but the holes aren't tapped with threads. The one bolt that I bought ($2.47!) to make sure I knew what size was required is M6 x 1.0 - 20mm. I can just thread the holes with an M6 x 1.0 tap, but it seems a shame to ruin the coating. Anyone know what the deal is here? I would have assumed these things would come ready to install...

The bolts are to self tap into the hole.
Kind of sucks but thats how they made them.

Tell me about it.

I think I'll just run a tap through them anyway. I'm going to use my own 18-8 stainless fasteners and I don't want to eat up the threads on a bunch of them trying to screw them in.

I was reading through the DFI Gen7 directiosn online and came across the LT1 section. They had a little * on it and said that "Can be run in sequential with adapter box" .. So, I called DFI to see how this would work. They told me you need to have yoru optispark modified to send a cam and crank signal and there is a company doing it in california called Blood Motorsports .. Anyone ever hear of them? I did a search on google and came up blank..

I talked with them about doing mine. Seem like good people,but wasn't going to pay $500.00 to have it done. Tad spendy in my book.
I have their number here somewhere if you need it,finding it is another story.
