This is driving season! I'm planning/hoping to get on track with NASA this coming weekend. (That's not too terribly expensive - but it does cost more than a set of used LS coils, so I have mixed feelings about the commitment.)   Cam position sensor looks like it'll come together easily and cheaply. Those components have been purchased.  I need to source some wiring stuff too. (Ford connector and terminals for the cam sensor? Delphi/Packard stuff at the coils?)  And spark plug wires! (I've got no idea where to get the best deal on a custom tailored set or on suitable components and tool. Suggestions?) I don't expect to bolt any ignition parts on until after the first snow.

Calibrating the TPS couldn't be easier, by the way. In TunerStudio, you mouse-click on one button to set the closed position. Depress the throttle pedal and mouse-click on another button to set the open position. Dead simple and quick.

Do the NASA track deal! Guaranteed to be waaay more fun than a used set of coils!  Besides it will be good for you.

Curtis, Junkyard for the wire connectors. Look in Summit,Jeg's and Speedway Motors for a roll of sparkplug wire and terminals,crimping tools,etc. Accel,Taylor and MSD have universal sets where you cut to length and just do one end. Probably 8mm wire. For radio suppression the coiled solid wire is much more durable than carbon core.
