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.

I have a recent MS 3.57 from DIYAutoTune. I can use either b&g or extra. I currently have a bbc running a msd billet low profile dist connected to an external gm 4 pin module. I have been running fuel only on 2 other cars for years with high success but haven't had good success with ignition. So what I would like to do is trigger the 3.57 from the output of the 4 pin (using the resistor mod between power and output) and then send MS output to a msd box via the msd white wire. I have a drilled plate that goes over the advance pins to lock the dist out. I know that there is other and probably better ways to do this but the reason for asking about this method is I can work on it on weekend and with a simple harness switch I can be back to a running car that I can drive the rest of the week. So question is will that work?
