Re: [Amc-list] EFI install on [anything modest]



For a fee of course, several shops used to burn custom proms.
These would ignore oil sender feeds and use non controlled distributers, plus many other features. 
  I know Tom was looking for low-bick, but if it's still readily available it would likely be cheap as these systems are no longer High tech. 
  Prom burning was SOP for these. For Tom who likely won't know the prom is a plug in chip on these older units, so the whole computer does not even need to be shipped. Usually it was done on an exchange basis. You let the company know exactly what you were doing and they burned the prom to fit the engine.
