AdmiralSenn (Adam S.) #3416 "Christine" Megasquirt conversion

[opethmike]

Not exactly. The shielded wire is your tach input. Gray/slate is the same wire as coil negative. For full spark control you'd tap the shielded wire into your VR wires from the distributor, and run pin 36 to the gray/slate (or direct to the coil).

Owen, I know you're running VR too. I just remember feeling like I was nuts, being the only one who did it that way. It was so long ago, though, I don't really remember. I vaguely remember advising somebody on it during their conversion, maybe it was yours - it was on the .com site.

Anyway, it doesn't matter who came up with it, I don't know why I even mentioned it. >_<

Any piercing insights into my hunting problem? I'll log on from the laptop shortly and upload the log.

Okay, so I would have to add another wire; thanks! And that was me you advised on it

So the pin 36 talk was confusing me a bit, as I am running the relay board. I just looked it up; that corresponds to an igntion output port on the relay board. So in this case, once I have fueling going and tuned in the spring, I think I will go ahead with spark. Don't have a welder though, so will need to find someone to tack down the weights for me. Plus, I'd get to learn how to install a distributor.
