Megasquirt Anyone ??

Why not convert to a Bosch 009 dizzy with electronic pick up?

One of the benefits of ditching the distributor pickup for the main engine position sensor is you get extremely precise timing control vs using a distributor based pickup. with a distributor based setup you have the stretch of the timing belt, gear lash from the intermediate shaft and oil pump all affecting overall crank position accuracy before the sensor even sends a signal to the ecu. there is a reason the TIII engines used a crank position sensor off the ring gear teeth vs having the primary engine position sensor run off the cam.

That would be nice, but it is also nice that a MS install would give you the forced opportunity to replace the engine wiring. It my case, I pulled a Super 60 harness out of my car to install megasquirt. That harness was ONLY 15 years old with few engine hours on it, and in very good condition. Most of the cars we are working on are knocking on the door of 30 years old, and could really use fresh wiring. I can imagine pulling my hair out trying to figure out a problem with my newly installed engine management system and tracing it to a wiring issue.

Having done it both ways, I would still want the option. I work on a bit less sketchy SBECII cars
