getting rid of crank angel sensor?
so while doing nothing at work i was thinking about a project im about to start with a left over drivetrain from a 88 NA car. if you pulled the crank angel sensor and put in a distributor from a fb, would that work? would the ecu be ok? i guess what im trying to figure out is if you can get rid of the ecu all together. run a carb with the first gen distributor.

Why would he need a Euro ECU?
No injectors to fire. What else is the ECU responsible for?
I personally don't like carburetors, but that's just me.
Carb controls your fuel. Distributor controls your ignition. Strip out all emissions control solenoids (Use a mechanical PCV for crankcase ventilation and possibly a mechanical EGR to keep exhaust temps down.) It's all you need.

I think the sand rail is gonna see a lot more abuse than a street car. The simplicity of no electronics will put up with water and dirt getting into everything more than finding a place to put the ECU and attempting to water/dirt/shock proof it.

No...
The FC ECU won't trigger from the ignition coil like the GSL-SE ECU will. The only choice in this regard is the Euro ECU or something aftermarket.
If you are going to run a carb with a dizzy, then you don't need the ECU. The dizzy has ignitors which fire the coils directly.
