I just sent Phonedawgz a email to see if he would build me a harness since I am not really confident on doing that and i know he will get it right and i wont have to think about it

maybe hope for Chet's 7165 ECU with the MSD 6012 or the 6010 ignition controller http://www.msdignition.com/product.aspx?id=6899 even if i cant use it the LSx engine guys should be able to use it with the 7165 ECU .

If I read the info for these controllers correctly, the 7165 will work with this ignition. There is a catch though. The 7165 will not be in control of the ignition timing, but seeing that the MSD is programmable, this should not be a problem. The 7165 will need to have the ignition related codes disabled. For signal input to the 7165, just tie into the tach output from the MSD controller, just make sure there is a tach filter between the two. I have a schematic for such a filter if you want it now. As far as issues matching the ignition to your engine, I may not be much help. If anything else comes to mind, I will let you know.

Thats good news Chet if i remember right you where saying you only need to change some wires on the harness to use the 7165 and this ignition looks pretty straight forward so it might make it easier to swap and upgrade

chetw77cruiser should i get the engine harness from the camaro/ firebird that i get the 7165 from and get a V8 one so it would eliminate the need to do any rewiring or would i still need to do wiring ?
