I popped the heads off in order to remove the broken exhaust studs (one per cylinder)
(I wrote broken head studs....I meant exhaust studs) Stock camshaft has some strange wear patterns on it which might be part of the previous owner problems with the motor. Cam will be a 9600 grind from Rabys old store Intake planned is stock L-Jet, however I can be swayed to install Megasquirt (plenum or ITB) since I already have the Megasquirt. Exhaust is older European Racing Header. |

Megasquirt question...really EDIS related. Older MS2 V3.57
I screwed up and bought the wrong EDIS setup, I bought the -8 version instead of the -4 version. I still think I can get it to work correctly as long as I mount the sensor 50° as per EDIS-8 requirements. The stock V8 firing order is 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 (wasted spark pairs are 1-6, 3-5, 7-4 and 2-8) As long as I connect to the correct coil I see no reason it wouldn't work. Any possible damage if I didn't hook up the other 4 spark plug wires? Will I damage a coil if it is only firing on one side and not as a pair? Good time to convert the heads to dual plug?
