This refers to a link below - which is the Thread I made when I 1st Megasquirted my V8 90.
Megasquirt means in simple terms you are no longer reliant on the "Clock Work Spark Generator" (Known as a Distributor) and all the issues both with timing, tuning, and in my and others cases waterproofing for off road use.
You fit a toothed trigger wheel on your crank pulley, and a sensor on the timing cover, and a EDIS 8 unit, connect it all with wiring and add an ECU with some software, and you can then tune the fuel and spark tables, giving performance and waterproofness the like of which have been tried in various ways over the years and mostly failed.

Huge thanks must go to Bruce Bowling, not just for the design and development of Megasquirt as a system but also his agreement in the use of the name in this site. Without him, and the many gurus on www.msefi.com neither would I have this site, nor would my engine be as good as it is
AS a moderator of www.lr4x4.com, and whilst this venture is neither supported by, nor involving the forum in any way, there are a number of Guys on LR4x4 who run, and 'live eat sleep and breathe' Megasquirt, worth a read.... and help is also there (and me too)
And finally a warning, Megasquirt is highly contagious, once you've started you'll find yourself saying things like "I can improve on that", or "I think I can tweak that a bit" whilst others will look on in amazement and say "Why, it seems fine ?"...then one day you'll find yourself talking to them about Megasquirt, .......and watching their eyes gaze over, ...and you'll wonder why ?
You have been warned !
