ignition signal for megasquirt

[turbojeeper]

Need some opinions. My Comanche is already tutbocharged but is also getting stroked. I'm running megasquirt. I have a 6 window shutter wheel from a straight six ford. My question is wil it be easier to modify the stock dizzy and sensor for this or should I get a distributor from an older 4.2 and use the factory 6 tooth wheel and vr sensor in it?

i'm currently running the stock distributor and i switched to a hall sensor instead of the stock vr sensor for the crank. the halls came out of any 93+ cherokee. reason i switched to the hall is because the vr sensor jeep used doesn't give a very clean signal and several people have had issues with them. think i'm the first that swapped in a stock hall sensor and used the stock vr flexplate but i'm not having any issues getting a clean signal now

Are you running megasquirt

ms3 with ms3x going for full sequential and coil on plug

I'm running ms1extra. So I have to use a simple ignition input which is whuly I was wondering about the 6 window ford wheel in the distributor or an old 4.2 distributor.

not familiar with ms1 but why can't you use the crank signal instead of the distributor? only thing i'd do different is put a newer style hall sensor on the crank and just use whichever flexplate/flywheel you currently have

Ms1 is not setup to revieve the jeep signal from the crank. Its the simple version of ms. Thats why I need a simple 6 window sihnal.

Shawn, could you possibly do a writeup on your Megasquirt installation and a program?
