I am about to tackle this on
I am about to tackle this on a 77 1500 spitfire as soon as the parts arrive. Obviously I don't have a working map yet, but I recal that it has been done on several spits, someone should be able to help out. Have you mounted your trigger wheel/ pickup yet. I can send photos of how I dd it if you would like.

Triumph Spitfire 1971
I would like photos if available, I am looking at this to see what options there are. I know you can run the system off a TPS or without. I have twin Weber Dcoe 40's and with a fully prepared engine (gas flowed-lightened and balanced - fast road cam) ect. My Crank pulley wheel is alloy so I would have to attach the trigger wheel by other means than welding. Any help would be greatly accepted.
Redskip I am also struggling to find how to order all the bits and board and I have not decided if I should go for the MegaJolt Lite Jr. Version 2.x. or 3 x what do you think.

Bobbyspit, I ended up
Bobbyspit,
I ended up mounting my wheel on my stock pulley with 8 #8 hex head bolts tapped into the pulley. I used a 1/4" spacer to get the trigger wheel away from the pulley. To get the trigger wheel centered on the pulley I installed only two of the bolts and oversized the holes on the trigger wheel so I could adjust the wheel. Once I got the wheel in the rght spot, drilled the other 6 bolts and loc-tited them in. For the sensor I used the lower bolts on the timing chain cover on the drivers side to mount a 1/4 aluminum plate that I fabricated for the sensor. I've got photos, just not sure how to get them to you.
As far as the v2 or v3, I got V3 since it appeared to have a few nore options. I will be using the MAP sensor (i've got a single downdraft weber).

Photos ect.
Jim, Thanks for the info, I can drill and tap my alloy wheel(never thought of that).
Photos would be great could you mail me them?, If you put the word bobyspit into google (uk) you should get my blog. You can then see what I am working on.

EDIS FORD WIRING
Guys,
Advice please, I am up to wiring the units together, I am currently disassembling the EDIS (FORD) plug and I have noticed there is a lot more wires to begin with.
Am I right in thinking some of these wires on this loom are obsolete? or longer used/left blank?
I await any reply.
