Let me google that for you

The megasquirt was designed to run fuel injection, so is a standalone ecu, capable of running injection, ignition etc.

The megajolt is a cut down version that only does the ignition map

Ash,

That looked fantastic. What where you adjusting with the screwdriver?

I understand the concept but have never used one. From the vid I guess there is no conventional dizy envolved all the 'timing' is done by the toothed wheel?

I really will ring today some time sorry, the whole family is sick exept me!!
