i am buiding my engine. and im gonna run after market ignition.

im jst wondering, can i use my original trigger wheel on the crank, or do i need to remove it and use an aftermarket one.

and if so, does it go in the original place or near the bottom pulley

many thanks

megajolt cant read the signal from the c20xe, you would need megasquirt for that

does MJ not need a crank sensor, as i have just been reading up about it, and it only talks about TPS or MAP for the carbs

yes they need a crank sensor but they are designed to use a sierra set up

Hi, Megajolt will only opperate with the 36-1 wheel as it runs the Ford Edis system, so your OE 60-2 trigger wheel is no good for Megajolt, Regards DM

Hi I should leave the OE one just in case you ever wanted to fit a Megasquirt as it is not very heavy anyway, email me at sales@megasquirtuk.co.uk (sales@ferrarispares.co.uk) and I will send you a photo of one I fitted , a 36-1 on an older Toyota TC engine OK, Regards DM
