I'm doing some research on using a GM 7-pin HEI module with MS2 and have reached a dead end on one point -- can I (or does it make sense to) use the stock ZXT Optical distributor with the 7-pin HEI? The megamanual (http://www.megamanual.com/ms2/GM_7pinHEI.htm) shows the setup with a VR distributor and explains how the HEI module conditions the VR "AC" output into a "square wave" signal that MS can use as a trigger input on pin #24. Can the ZXT Optical distributor output, which is a "square wave" be used as an "AC" input to the HEI? Seems to me that would not work properly, if at all. Or could the Optical output signal be routed directly to MS pin#24, skipping the VR conditioning of the HEI module? In that case, is there any advantage to the 7-pin HEI over a 4-pin HEI?
Whoops - one question turned into several. Any thoughts, conjectures, ACTUAL EXPERIENCE with this setup appreciated.
