Could you convert it to another coil, like a standard parts-store/MSD GM coil?

I'm guessing not if it takes the cam/crank sensors as input directly into the coil (and would then apparently handle advance internally at the coil rather than the dizzy?)

Wagon made it home. Needs a water pump and thermostat.

I saw a minty '87 5000 today at the junkyard and thought of you. Hood cable was snapped otherwise I would have checked more closely.

You could probably look through it in a hex editor and figure out at least where some of the tables would be. I assume they'd be contiguous in ROM and look like your average load/rpm 3D table.

Very much so. Most of the tables are fairly obvious even in hex.

How many tables are there? I assume it's a Z80 or something because Germans love those, so you should be able to also chuck it through a disassembler and see what parts of it seem like an actual program and not line noise. Unfortunately a Z80 is not a fixed-length instruction set :(

I thought the Audi diesel I5s had weird rare rockers for some reason. Never mind then, I'm glad it's not a super difficult quest.
