MSD distributor question

Post by 67chad »

Sorry if this is not the write place for this. I just started to learn about MagaSqurt EFI and I have a couple questions before I get started with it. I have a ford 289 with an MSD pro billet distributor, Blaster 2 coil, and 6AL control box. My question is will the MegaSqurt system work with this combination? Also is there anything I need to watch out for with this setup. I just want to get an idea before I get started. Thanks for your time,

The 6AL works nicely, you would use it's tach output for Megasquirt, the manual has straightforward instructions for setting it up. Using your distributor with the 6AL and controlling fuel only with MS really simplifies things.

You can easily upgrade to spark-control when you feel ready.

Just lock the advance plate in the dizzy and run the VR signal to the ignition input on MS/MS2, and then the ignition output from MS to the VR input on the MSD-6AL unit. keep everything else as it is.

Of course you can also do waste-spark but it means lots of work (and maybe code).
