I wouldn't go too crazy with AN lines and such. I mean it is just a vacuum source. Run a rubber line from each manifold to a vacuum reservoir and mount it behind the shroud, you'll never see it. Then from there run to your MJLJ, done. Also, I wouldn't put the EDIS module so close to the coilpack, yo...

There are naysayers everywhere, screw 'em. They all get it after they go for a ride though. But they can't quite connect the dots and figure out exactly how come the engine is so smooth and pulls so hard!

Brent, I didn't have any video of comparison, but my distributor was +/- 5 degrees at 3000 rpm! The Megajolt is rock steady, some people have asked me if I have EFI, but I am on Weber carbies. Type1 VW, and I gained rock steady idle, more power everywhere in the curve, and just smoother, as we all k...

As Funky says, use the relay wired as above. Any Bosch-type 30 amp automotive relay will do. Coil current is usually 50 ma, so the MJLJ will be fine with that. A Facet pump draws what, MAYBE 5 amps, so any relay from 20 amps up is fine, use 16 gauge wire or heavier, I would use 14, I always go a ste...

Looking good, Richard!

David, on my type1 I used the stock wires for a US Ford Escort, circa 1991. I just slid some Bosch airseals on the spark plug boots. Plus you need to screw on the little aluminum pieces on the end of the plug to properly seat the wires. My coilpack is over the #3 cylinder, I have a fiberglass 911 sh...

Rich, you probably did message me and I forgot! Thanks for the kudos. Yes, I like the white very much. RE the guys on Spyderclub: they can't be convinced, neither can the boys on Speedsterowners.com. They all use(mostly) the 009 distributor on their aircooled motors. So sad for them, as the curve an...

Hey Richard, car looks great. Mr. L from Spyderclub, correct?

Jamin, in the meantime, if you have a Radio Shack nearby, get your USB-serial adapter there. I got mine there, and although pricy($40 US dollars) it worked easy right out of the box on a Gateway laptop. Good luck.

I have never tried writing to the Megajolt while the engine is running. I usually write then flash ignition on, engine not running. Others can chime in on this I hope, but I have never had a problem doing it this way. I can switch maps on the fly no problem.

Nice article. Good for you, Brent and Kelly!

Pin 4 and pin 7 are internally connected to pin 9(ground) in the EDIS module itself. At least they are on mine, verified with an ohmeter.

RC servos require 5 v dc and a pulsewidth of 1 to 2 milliseconds for full range of motion. Most have 90 degrees rotation, but there are 180 degree versions for retractable landing gear. Also, there are sail winch servos that have 360 degree plus rotation.

Here's java for you:

Run EDIS in limp-home or with some type of fixed map at idle. Read the advance with a timing light and adjust accordingly. I set mine up in the center of the tooth(I think, it was over two years ago!), and it ended up being 2.5 degrees off. No problem, I just adjusted it in the v3 Global options. Of...
