My neighbor gave me this nickname. He is the official name-giver in our small, tight-knit neighborhood--kinda like what John Belushi's character Bluto Blutarsky was for Delta house.

... In a traditional distributor-equipped engine, the crankshaft turns the camshaft through a chain or belt, and the camshaft incorporates a gear that engages and turns the distributor shaft... In the case of Megajolt with Ford EDIS components, piston position is sensed directly off the crankshaft ...

Here's an explanation in my own words the reasons for and the advantages of Megajolt, and I hope this is a helpful contribution: Ignition timing is critical to Otto cycle engine performance. Why? For best performance, maximum pressure developed by the burning mixture in a cylinder should occur a lit...

I heard about Megajolt from people in other fora talking about ignition options, and from a friend who implemented fuel injection with Megasquirt on a 2 liter straight six Triumph engine.

I had a '71 Corolla once that I autocrossed in SoCal in the 80's. Your ride looks like fun. Enjoy!

The complete, operational Megajolt Lite Jr.-equipped engine in my 1978 Triumph Spitfire 1500.

The old distributor pedestal is retained to properly constrain the camshaft-driven oil pump drive gear. The distributor shaft hole is plugged with a rubber expandable freeze plug.

Coil pack, mounted and wired-up.

I fabricated an interface mounting plate to allow mounting of the coil pack at the same location as the original coil using the original holes for the coil mount. The plate has 4 threaded holes to accept #10-24 machine screws for holding down the coil pack, and is attached to the car with two flat-h...
