Cover installed temporarily. I will make a new lead and attach that , but only after I get done with most of the engine build.

That seals up the distributor bracket hole. Not needed since I will eventually run an electronic ignition. The kit includes a plug for the dizzy hole.

One more project today: making an adjustable pushrod for measuring the proper length (once I install the heads and valve train).

Big day: installing the first part of the Dubshop Megasquirt EFI and ignition.

This is the crank sensor kit, with a Hall sensor and trigger wheel.

First attempt to fit the toothed wheel, and the center hole is too small, by about 0.1 mm.

It now slides onto the hub, but it rocks a bit and does not sit flat. I confirmed this with a machined straight edge.

After some rounds of light hammering and checking, I got the wheel to mount flat.

Next, I mounted the sensor to the supplied bracket--cool Dubshop logo cut-out.

The bracket mounts using two of the case edge bolts. It can slide about 10mm forward and back. The sensor can also adjust closer to the crank axis.

The desired clearance is less than 3 mm, and I aimed for just less than 2 mm.
