for ignition only (using carbs) - what is needed?
*** this is a cross post - oops***
i assume ford coil pack and edis module - is a tps needed as yarin uses?

pics, drawings, pns would be extra special : ))
Well, can't answer on the megajolt, I use Megasquirt. What I do know about the MS system is it will read the map sensor to either advance or retard the timing based on load and rpm.
Just my .02
And yes you can use the MS2V3.0 for timing only.
The Ford EDIS is the "bolt on"simple basic install with both systems but you can mod almost any 12V coilpack to work.
is it my choice to use either a throttle pos sensor - or a - manifold press sensor - or are both typically needed?
thanks
i see that the megajolt offers both tps or mps input.

TPS hookup is just a wiring hook up and appears to be included in all the setups. The MAP sensor is an additional component that can be left off the circuit board at build time, to save a few bucks.
Using MAP or TPS is a software configurable option, so if you get the MAP version of the hardware box you have an unrestricted box whether you use the sensors or not. I would spend the extra $20 for that flexibility, just in case.
That being said, if you're going for non-load sensing, you can get either box and they'll work the same.
Get the MAP sensor, unless you have a big cam with huge overlap it's well worth it. Makes the car almost modern to drive.
MAP = vacuum advance
in this case anyway...
repost - with edis hooked up to megajolt - are all four spark plugs sparking everytime one plug actually needs spark for combustion?
thanks again!
Sparking all four at once would never run. It's a wasted spark system which means each spark plug fires on the TDC of compression stroke and TDC of exhaust stroke.
ok - seems clear to me - vr sensor needs to be mounted 9 teeth from the missing tooth on a 36 tooth trigger wheel, with engine at TDC, in order to use megajolt lite jr and edis.

everyone agree?
does a type 4 turn clockwise or counter clockwise?

You could use Megasquirt for timing only, I use a 36 tooth wheel and a HALL
sensor not a VR sensor. This connects directly to the Megasquirt and has a
12x12 table to set your timing. the kit also includes a map sensor which is used
with the timing table. At a later date you can convert to FI if you wish.
