I still think MS would be much easier, but interested to see how you got a distributor strapped on there.

Easier for you, maybe. I can't weld and I don't have the budget for EFI right now.Originally Posted by Josh

No need to weld for EFI if you have the 3.0 with the intake.
No one has used microsquirt on a delorean but it would work just fine and keep you in the $500us range.

My guess is one of the following:
- You cut and grafted a drive gear onto the even-fire cam with an even-fire distributor (which I've seen, but I doubt you utilized).
- You engineered an adapter and/or 3D printed up a custom distributor cap to make the first gen 3.0 distributor adjustable. This I doubt even more.
- Most likely, you've swapped odd-fire crank & cams, then drilled the left cylinder bank to mount the 2.8L's distributor.

I have been told many times that it is necessary to weld a 36-1 trigger wheel to the crankshaft pulley, and fabricate an appropriate bracket to mount the CPS. Maybe people were just messing with me, but I believed them.
By "intake," do you mean "intake manifold?" I do not have the 3.0L intake manifold.

Are their two 90 degree bevel gears in the box?
