Another MS conversion, Progress, at last. Options

[JimN73]

I've been talking to McMark for some time about the MS/ignition upgrade. I decided to to take the plunge a few weeks ago and asked Mark to put it on his schedule.

Jeff (JSConst) had bought a kit from Mark and decided not to use it, so I bought it from him. All of the pieces are together and Mark has time starting on Sunday.

Unfortunately, my time is limited so I may not participate much. I will add updates as I learn of them, or Mark may do that if he has the time.

Last week Mark rewired the VR sensor with shielded cable. Altho the car seems to run better, the problems remain. He is probably going to build a new shielded harness.

For your viewing pleasure, here are a couple of data log files as well as the 'tune' setup that we're using.

The December 18 file is a cold start file (less than 50 degrees). I had to crank it a lot before it started. Then I shut it down, started the datalogger and restarted the car. It seemed that it started better if I had the throttle open a bit, so the TP is about 10% and the rpm about 2000. The noise is evident and seems to disappear a couple of minutes into the log.

The December 21 file is also a cold start file. This time I didn't open the throttle and ran the log for the whole start cycle. You can see where the key is turned off and on and the cranking resumes.

I'm not sure what I'm looking at, but sometimes the TP and the PW seem to follow their own drummer.
