Has anybody looked into or used the megasquirt system?

For those of you who haven’t heard of it, it’s a DIY fuel injection system. You build the controller and tune it yourself. All of the good of the stock black box in todays Chrysler’s, but completely tunable.

well spent some time with various diagrams and advice from folks here and i think i have the wiring almost ready. i have only temporarily wired everything so that if it isnt correct i can make adjustments. once done i’ll tidy everything up.

i am at work so no additional pics but i will explain what i did.

so again this was a /6 67 dart GT that i put a 76 318 in as well as the alternator, regulator, dual ballast, and elec ignition in from the 318.

based on the images attached, i ran 2…

69 dart custom, alternator charges at about 12V at idle, but goes up to 14V when accelerated. of course when the headlights are on its even less, so bad that my aftermarket radio turns on and off until i go again. Any suggestions?

Who makes a wiring harness for a 73 A Body from the firewall forward? Any companies any of you would recommend?

Thanks

Would anyone happen to know for sure the ohm readings for Full and Empty for a Mopar sending unit? I need to know the readings before buying some aftermarket gauges to replace the stock gauges in a 66 Barracuda instrument cluster that is going in my 65 Dart wagon.

okay.

my dart won’t start. the accelarator pump is giving a shot of gas, and I hit it with starter fluid as well as checked the fuel pressure at the carb, so it doesn’t seem to be a fuel problem

I replaced the:
coil,
distributor,
dist. cap,
rotor, pointing at plug wire number one inside the dist cap, with the number one piston at top dead center
set points at .17,

ok well i am slowly getting there with all your help! learned what an oil sending plug looks like as well as where the neutral safety switch goes.

so i have removed the following components fom the 76 318 :
– newer rectifier/regulator
– elec ignition
– newer alternator
– dual field? ballast

so here are some pics. i understand how to wire in series/parallel, etc i just want to be sure before cutting that i am doing things correctly. any help is much appreciated.
