I finally got the engine running but I have few concerns:

1) I have a powerglide with no VSS, how will this effect the computer?

2) Rev limiter, how to deal with it with no VSS?

3) The Autometer Tach reads too low, does the LS1 not put out a normail V8 signal?

Config the autometer as a 4 cyl or go into the tach section and change the pulses .

Rev limtier will not be a issue
no VSS will just cause idle issueswhich in a dragster isnt a issue

Thanks Delco,

The tach is now set to 6 so it needs to be increased to say 12 right?

What about a autometer tach adapter, part number 9117 IIRC
will that work? Multiple coils right?

thats if you cant do it thru efi, lol. i wasn't thinking simple.
