I've been watching this topic for awhile. I'm ready to try it but am having trouble finding the 7730. I've tried Ebay and emailing one of the folks that said they could get some here. Still no luck. Any ideas on where to get the neccessary parts?

Darth - (regarding this upgrade for a 3.4 pushrod or 2.8 stock engine) waaaay back you mentioned doing the DIS with this ECU upgrade. What parts are needed for the DIS - coil pack, module (under the coil pack). Distributor (?) - will it fit the 3.4 / 2.8 fiero engine ?

I'll take a stab at this one: If you are using the 3.4 (or 3400) block, you will have a crank trigger wheel and sensor available to trigger the DIS system (coil packs, module). If you are using a stock 2.8 there is no available crank trigger wheel or sensor which would require an aftermarket unit (none are available as I know it). There is a company making a crank trigger wheel and sensor, but only can be used with the FWD lower damper/pulley. I am currently in contact with this manufacturer to see if one can be made for our stock 2.8 setup (which is like a RWD damper and separate pulley). My current thought is to machine the protruding portion of our damper (where the pulley mounts) flat with the face of the damper ring and sandwich this guys trigger wheel between the damper and pulley. I know our damper is 6 3/8" in diameter, I just don't know the diameter of the manufacturer's trigger wheel yet.

I just read this in the first post on page 1. So it seems you need to have a 3.4 that already has provisions for DIS. So ryan, nevermind my DIS question (I guess). I'd still like to get your input about the digital cruise control - on a STOCK 3.4 pushrod / 2.8 V6, can you use the digital cruise control with the ECU upgrade or do you still need to add a speedometer interface like the ones from Nordskog or Dakota Digital ?
