The MegaSquirt Project has experienced explosive growth other the years, with hundreds of new MS installations occurring every week - a phenomenal success! MegaSquirt has been successfully used in all aspects of Internal Combustion engine applications including R&D, Industry, Race, and Research. The MS project has transformed itself from a simple R&D project into a full-featured mature engine control system. To reflect this the support structure has also changed to meet the needs of MegaSquirt Users.
Moving forward, the R&D forums for MegaSquirt project are in a read-only mode - no new forum posts are accepted.
However the forums will remain available for view, they still contain a wealth of information on how MegaSquirt works, how it is installed and used. Feel free to search the forums for information, facts, and overview.While the R&D forum traffic has slowed in recent years, this is not at all a reflection of Megasquirt users, which continue to grow year after year. What has changed is that the method of MegaSquirt support today has rapidly moved to Facebook, this is where the vast majority of interaction is happening now. For those not on Facebook the msextra forums is another place for product support. Finally, for product selection assistance, all of the MegaSquirt vendors are there to help you select a system, along with all of the required pieces to make it complete.
I'm building a '62 Falcon with a 331 scat kit in a 5.0 block as well. I'll be curious as to how you tackle the crank trigger as I assume you're also stuck with a 28oz imbalance to work with.
I do have EDIS on this car now. It's been there a while. I built a custom coil bracket that sits just above where the distributor would be. I run a billet aluminum crank pulley with a spacer between the balancer and the pulley. I mounted the spacer on a lathe and turned it down enough to sandwich a steel toothed wheel in between. I then fabricated a bracket to mound the sensor. I'll try to get some photos posted soon.
I'm in the process of converting to MS3x. I'll be pulling the right side fender and rerouting the cable. I've never like the look of the exposed wire bundle.
