The MegaSquirt Project has experienced explosive growth other the years, with hundreds of new MS installations occurring every week - a phenomenal success! MegaSquirt has been successfully used in all aspects of Internal Combustion engine applications including R&D, Industry, Race, and Research. The MS project has transformed itself from a simple R&D project into a full-featured mature engine control system. To reflect this the support structure has also changed to meet the needs of MegaSquirt Users.
Moving forward, the R&D forums for MegaSquirt project are in a read-only mode - no new forum posts are accepted.
However the forums will remain available for view, they still contain a wealth of information on how MegaSquirt works, how it is installed and used. Feel free to search the forums for information, facts, and overview.While the R&D forum traffic has slowed in recent years, this is not at all a reflection of Megasquirt users, which continue to grow year after year. What has changed is that the method of MegaSquirt support today has rapidly moved to Facebook, this is where the vast majority of interaction is happening now. For those not on Facebook the msextra forums is another place for product support. Finally, for product selection assistance, all of the MegaSquirt vendors are there to help you select a system, along with all of the required pieces to make it complete.

alright ive been tring to figure alot of this out myself but i figured i would ask on this because im afraid the 6a might fry the ms II if i hook it up wrong. but i looked in the mega manual and just saw the diagram for a points style ignition. can anyone shed some light on this?
thanks steve
im running an msd 6al/ 2 plug blaster coil with my 8 pin hei and megasquirt. what i did was got the msd plug and play harness, and i ran the 6al with my stock computer that way. when i put the ms in i just left it wired that way. basicly just wire it up the way it says in the msd instructions.
i did see that i just have a 8 pin hei, and when i wired the msd box when it had the stock ecm i jut tapped in the wires where th directions called for, can i just run the wires like called for in the gm 8 pin
