Been a while since I've done anything!
Well, the MegaSquirt is installed in my 240SX, so I needed a new ignition solution for the Comet. I honestly don't think that the TFI distributor is better enough to warrant the pain in the butt it is to get it hooked up. EDIS or nothin! Anyway, I scrounged in the JY and found some parts! Got a DS2 and wires, TFI coil, and ...hmmm...what is this? Somebody left a MSD 6 box in a Camaro? Yaaay for me! $50 later, I'm ready to begin.
I didn't take any pictures of the install, but it is really straightforward. The MSD box is dead simple to wire. Power, ground, switched power, and distributor signal. I ran a relay off of the stock coil wire to give 12v to the MSD. Made up the totally sweet wiring harnesses (I love this braided loom). Everything is soldered, fused etc. I wasn't thinkin or I would've gotten the DS2 plug from the wiring harness, too...such is life.
Oh, and I forgot that these things hold a ton of energy...had the switch on and was farting around with the plug wires and it shocked the mess out of me. Done for the night.
