in consideration of all the other benefits too, such as native EFI, lightweight etc

I understand that rotor phasing does not determine the spark timing
But rotor phasing IS EXTREMELY CRITICAL to ensure the engine will EVEN RUN
i.e. that the spark produced by the coil makes it to the plug.

AND I did not find this out by reading the Megasquirt manual which I suggest is lacking in ...

Here is the MSD link for kit to adjust Rotor Phasing

I finally figured it out for myself and then discovered this is called Rotor Phasing.
My opinion is that this is buried way too deep in the Megasquirt manual .
All that is required is to state right up front that an "ECU controls ignition timing by varying the rotor phasing".

I am planning on using ...

I have MSD Billet distributor with MSD 6A 6200 and planning Megasquirt II ignition control
I am aware of http://www.megamanual.com/ms2/msd6a.htm

But I cannot see how this could work in principal?

Once the mechanical and vacuum advance are locked out of operation in the distributor,
and the initial ...
