Hi all, After a long period, I could spend some time for changing the ignition back to EDIS and MJLJ. I was more focused on the new engine during last few months. I made three changes. I didn't want to make all changes at a time, but had no other choice. I welded small support parts to the bracket, ...

Hi Brent, Approximately 30 cm of sensor cable go next to leads of cylinders 1 & 2. In the first image, behind the distributor, fuel pump and generator stand. There's no other alternative route I can think of except bringing it from the top or changing the place of the coil (it becomes too hot ab...

I read Patriq's recent Default cable to VR sensor from Ford not shielded !? post. My VR sensor cable is quite long. I collected the excess part of the cable by making some rounds behind the generator stand where two of the plug leads go. I can't test it at the moment since the engine is running with...

I forgot to write.

When EDIS was disconnected, static 10º advance was very solid. There was no change however I couldn't try upper rpms since rpm acceleration was slow and the engine started to backfire.

The problem disappeared after installing the old DVDA disty setup. Advance goes up to 32 degrees with vaccum hose disconnected. At least, I know where to focus now. Next step will be building a new sensor mount or reinforcing present one and trying different sensor to trigger wheel gaps. Does the ma...

I changed the EDIS and coil. No change. I know this temporary sensor mount is not handsome but believe me it is rigid. It is attached to three studs and the metal is thick. I will decrease the gap to 1 mm. I was also in doubt when I measured the vacuum for the first time. I'm measuring the vacuum fr...

Hi, I installed my MJLJ few weeks ago. This is my first experimental installation. These will go to my turbo boosted 1600 engine which I am planning to complete in 2-3 months. Current engine is a dual port 1285cc Type1 with dual Weber 36 IDFs, custom ss headers, external oil filter. Here are some im...

I installed my setup few weeks ago. I was experiencing the same problem and I realized that computer freezes whenever I try to use it outside the car. My MJ is under left side of the rear seat of my beetle. So, my solution was easy, keeping the computer inside the car. I could never run the software...

Actually, I never thought it could be TPS value.

Thanks for these quick and clear answers.

Hi At last I finished bench tests of MJ, EDIS and my custom trigger wheel. Now I'm trying to prepare my initial mapping for my first run on car tonight. I wonder what my starting advance should be. My normally aspirated engine's standard advance at idle is 7º. Should I enter 0º to the idle rpm or 7º...

Recently I bought a Smiths tachometer and I couldn't make it work in anyway. After digging up few sites, I found attached brochure which shows wiring for both positive and negative earthed impulse tachs. Maybe it helps if yours is the same type. I didn't know impulse tachs before and I was thinking ...
