The hard part was fitting the tooth wheel to my crank pulley. I cut the center out of the wheel and spent hours grinding it so it would slide over the pulley and used JB Weld to attach the two parts together.
I could not find a download for a small block V8, so I used the one for the Mopar 440 and loaded it into the Megajolt.
After soldering the wires together into a harness, I had to modify the spark plug wires to connect to the coil packs. Then it was ready to test.
The first time I test drove the car it ran pretty good but did not accelerate very well. The tach did not work either. I read the troubleshooting guide and figured out that I had gotten the two signals between the EDIS module and the Megajolt crossed. After I straightened that out it ran MUCH BETTER! Wow, so smooth and so much power. We have ruin two events with it now and won one of them. My rally co-driver is also impressed with the system.
A big side benefit is that with the distributor and MSD system gone, there is much less interference in my rally computers and they are working more reliably too.
I mounted my coil packs in front of the engine. I cut the bottom out of an old 427 Ford surge tank and used it as a cover for the coil packs. Looks good and works good. Thank you all for all the great information on this website.
