Tom,

2 choices - depends if you want to run the GM electronics or aftermarket e.g. megasquirt (MS).

GM - run the motor as is - fine for a stock install.

MS - right now - you need to replace the COP coils with a ford EDIS6 wasted spark coil pack and install a 36-1 trigger wheel. MS can either drive the EDIS ign. module ( my setup or drive the coils directly - Black Opel Setup) The reason for deleting the EDIS module is it has a non-adjustable RPM limiter set at 7200 (best) which was too low for the race engine.

Soon ... you need to replace the COP coils with a ford EDIS6 wasted spark coil pack or run the GM COP in wasted spark mode (fire 2 coils off of one ign. output - not enough outputs right now to run 6 coils) and run the GM crank trigger.

Next year - install a 36-1 trigger wheel/pickup and use the COP coils << the MS guys have the first prototype sequential injection/COP controller built and its in testing.

Later next year - run the GM crank trigger and the above sequential/COP MS box << this will be nearly a plug and play with the OEM harness. Once a canned tuneup file is ready it'll be dead simple to swap one of this engines.
