A question of Timing.
I have a question that has been running around my head for a while. is there a way a 3.8 can run without its host PCM?
Let me explain.
Is there a way to fire the plugs with a stand alone system?
Also, since and engine is basically an air pump, i dont see a reason why it couldn't work with carb. Maybe a Holley. Is ther a problem with my logic? I know that it would mean that a new intake wold have to be made.
Or better yet. Can the PCM from say a GTP be stripped down to just work the engine alone? Just use what needed ( sensors and stuff ). I dont want it to control the Trans. I have separate plans for that.
I have my reasons for asking this and i have till April to find out answers.

I just looked at ZZP and they seem to have just what i need. A PCM with everything removed except what is absolutely needed. VERY KEWL!!

If you really want a carb'd 3.8; why not get one of the old 80's ones?

Been doing some reading and found something called a MEGASQUIRT 2. Does anyone have any knowledge of this system?
