Ok, I've been a member of the forums for a very long time. Most of the time I'm just reading.
But no matter what, I cant find any "Getting Started" help.
How do I decide which MS fits my needs?
How do I know if I need the newest or an older version?

Only you can decide which version you need based on your own personal requirements. Most of the dealers have FAQ pages which should help you decide.

This is one from the UK:-

I'm working on a couple.
The first is a 1975 Ford Maverick with the stock 250ci. L6 that I am building a fuel injection setup for. It will be turbocharged.
The second is a 1979 Type 1 Volksrod with a Porsche 911 3.0L H6, possibly future turbo charging.

The biggest question is what you will be doing for ignition control.

Our Nova build articles may be a good starting poing.

I'm not really wanting to run TBI, more Multi Port.
