after Brant's recent thread, I didn't want to hijack,

the 050 and 009 are both universally blasted, the mallory supposed ly has QC issues now and even without problems it's expensive as hell..

is there a dizzy-less option that is easy to install... like easy as installing a distributor, easy? it would have to work for both carbs or FI...

could a MSD ignition do the trick? or do you have to get an electrical engineering degree and install megasquirt?


basically.. something to replace an 009/050 dizzy that and idiot(ME) could do in a weekend. does this animal exist?

True dizzyless ignitions use a crank trigger. My Megasquirt uses the stock dizzy with the advance plates welded and springs/vac can removed. I just don't want to pull the motor to put a crank trigger on. I would be nice if someone came up with a trigger wheel and mount you could install and not pull the motor..hint hint..Toon1 are you listening????

But you can't get to the crank to install anything without removing the motor. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

The crank trigger I developed only requires that you remove the fan to install, but you can't remove the fan with the motor in the car.

And what does it take to get one of these from you ?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) I know you're working on a FI "system" Mark, but maybe you can make a few bucks selling separate components. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Ok, you made a trigger wheel. Does it fit behind the fan where the A/C pulley would go? .... where do you mount the mag sensor?

I'll take one! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ***

I have a trigger wheel that can be fitted easily. I also have a megajolt system that can easily be adapted if you know what advance curves to program in. A megajolt system and trigger wheel are easy to build and install on a TIV and there is no shortage of 4cyl coil packs for cheap.

this is a dumb question, I'm sure... but couldn't the fan or flywheel be used for the crank trigger wheel ? both are attached and keyed directly to the crank, and may be an easier install... I mean the crank trigger is basically just reading the position of where the crank is in the cycle, and firing in time.. both of which could be done by the flywheel, and if marked, the fan.

this would keep you from having to completely pull the engine and the cooling system off to install the unit...

It's pretty easy to remove the fan just with lowering the "front" of the engine. Pull any wires and hoses that may get snagged, remove your muffler (HE's can stay on) put a jack under the motor mount, loosen the bolts, lower it and badda bing access to the fan. So if there is a fan mounted trigger... way easy to install.

true, for some reason I was thinking the whole front cooling would have to come off, but I guess not, as long as the install is easy enough... disconnect shift linkage too
