I got an interesting response on the megasquirt forums regarding ignition triggering. I was planning on locking my stock dizzy and installing a pertronix hall sensor unit in there. Has anyone tried this?

Score a distributor from a late model Vanagon with Digifant (NOT the one with the vacuum can). It has:

1) Hall sensor
2) Locked down timing
3) Drops in to the engine

Cheap from a junkyard, and you can probably sell the stock distributor on e(vil)Bay and turn a net profit.
