Is there a calculation that is used...we are a bit stuck.

Search on CD a bit more, I think I remember someone asked this not too long ago here (Post #14): http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...hreadid=131261 For starters look at what 1640 did. They have a very well documented module. I would think a pg 71 with the RS 775 type is not enough however a AM9015 at 188:1 (PG188) will for sure.
