EFI with no ECM? 1998 Ls1 vs 2001? I have a question. Could I ditch my ecm to run an msd 6010 without using a carb? If the msd unit can control timming/ignition, etc with a carb it can with EFI right? Also what is the difference between a 1998 ls1 and say a 2001? Thanks allot guys

No.......you can't. The PCM controls the fueling through several different sensors, MAF, MAP, O2 sensors...etc.. You cannot simply add a timing device without having control of the fuel. So, it's either dist./carb or PCM or dist./stand alone EFI controller.
The oiling passage on the rear of the block is larger on the 01 & they use different PCM's & operating software. Only sensor difference between the 2 is the ECT sensor. So, an 01 can be controlled w/ a 98 PCM if the ECT sensor is changed. However, the 01 operating system (software) is preffered.

I don't know anything about the MSD 6010. The coils are ignition/timing related. However, if the 6010 has an EFI feature & accepts feedback from 02's & a few other sensors, then it would be classified as a stand alone (its' own PCM) & will work.
