He is computer illiterate so I do much of the research for him. Love the forum by the way. Anyways, he is having the engine rebuilt and is going twin spark. He doesn't know much about the technical side of converting to twin spark so i told him I'd do some reading for him. The work is being done by a very reputable shop in the chicago area. He mentioned something about a different type of engine management that would increase the HP. Can anyone shed some light on this for me? I'm reading as much as possible right now so any info pertaining to the T/S conversion would be much appreciated. Recommendations for cams and other parts would be appreciated as well. It helps to know a little when talking to the mechanic. I'm use to working on mid 80's bmw's so this stuff is new to me. Thanks!

im new here, so please let me know if i've done something wrong to do with posting.

to the problem, i'm putting a v6 engine and rear end (v6 transaxle, driveshafts, etc.) in my alfetta gtv (85').

i've read numerous threads all over the web to do with this very conversion, but the closest i've come to anybody saying anything about what tailshaft/propshaft is needed was someone suggesting a mix and match of different shafts??
didn't sound right to me those parts are pretty exact. i've had mine out before to do a donut/guibo and it doesnt seem like the kinda thing you could replace with a "ye thats close enough" part. plus aren't they balanced at the factory? mixing and matching the two halves would surely upset this?

anyway to me it seems the obvious solution is to just find a gtv6 tailshaft/propshaft. but on ebay.com (not .au), there is this item.

so how do they use the same propshaft/tailshaft??

pretty much the point of all this is, can i use a 75 tailshaft/propshaft in my conversion?

btw, the ad also says it's a driveshaft!

Tired of getting passed by the e30 BMWs. Our biggest hurdle is to do this as cheap as possible to keep the costs within Lemons spec. I'm guessing that a 164 3L motor would be the way to go. What is the HP of one of these motors? I've got a line on a GTV6 so the mounts and bellhousing are not an issuse. What else are we going to need to change as far as the motor goes? If we do this we'll have to step up to 5 lug wheels with the bigger brakes.

Thanks, -Richard Scotts Valley, CA]]> I'm not sure if this question is best asked in this forum or in the engine-management forum - but I'll try here first anyway.

I want to add EDIS ignition, probably programmed from a Megajolt ignition ECU, to my 1974-ish 2000 engine. The engine is out of the car and I'm working through the usual pair of problems with doing this - how to mount the 36-1 trigger wheel to the crank pulley - and how to mount the sensor.

Concentrating on the pulley for now, I came across this pulley from Centerline.
