Hi all,

  I'm in the process of converting to EFI on my '88 16v and want to =
retain the stock knock box ignition.  I've pretty much got it all =
figured out except whether I need the WOT and idle switches on the =
throttle body.  How do these affect ignition?  Do I really need them =
connected to the knock box anymore? Also, where does the knock box get =
its power from? Is it from the ignition controller?  I'm assuming that =
the ignition controller gets it's power from the hot side of the coil, =
but if I'm wrong, please straighten me out on this.  If anyone has any =
suggestions or websites to help me out on stand-alone knock-box =
ignitions, I'd really appreciate it. =20

Thanks,

Chris M.
