Re: kettering system help
Use the direct coil control output mod and the Kettering trigger setup at the bottom of the distributor pickups page.
Re: kettering system help
Cheers for the info, sorry for the long period between replies, the wire would have to go to the crank angle sensor I have inside the distributor, correct? Alternatively can I get away with just wiring up to control the coil directly and leave it at that?
Re: kettering system help
Explain fully what you want to do. Do you want MS to control the spark mapping? What is the existing system, and on what engine?

I want the ms to run standalone for fuel and spark, it's running a Kettering system that also has the crank angle sensor built into the distributor, here is a copy of the wiring diagram for stock setup, http://www.n12turbo.com/files/Ignition- ... wiring.jpg and is a 1985 e15et nissan 4 cylinder turbocharged engine

Re: kettering system help
This sounds like an optical pick-up and should work with a 12 volt pull up.
Re: kettering system help
Just been reading up on optical triggers and it sure looks like it, but still doesn't answer the question of what wire I should connect pin 24 to, I have narrowed it down to either the g/y or g/b wire coming off the crank sensor
