Dang... 1) I've never heard of shearing just one of the flywheel bolts off by its head. 2) I have never touched my hands to an Accel Engine Control Unit... but, if you had, say, 40+ degrees of timing at start up I guess you could eat up your starter and flywheel, maybe shear a bolt head too... maybe. With all that said, I do know that if you have your distributor setting not in synch with your timing table entries on the ECU screen you can get a ridiculous result. Like this: Accel gen7 Starting Problem - LS1TECH I guess, in theory, that could be the problem.
