Who wants to Megasquirt, full sequential fuel/ spark a 68 charger! This Guy!!

Mechtech, I'd be in for one of those crank trigger wheels.

Hi igozumn
I had already placed the order for 2, I should be able to increase the order.  Originally they said they would be done on the 18th then I have a little work to do on them.

question on those trigger wheels.

Do they come with a sensor mount? that's my biggest hurdle right now.

SD concepts is working on a sensor bracket.

Hi grnfsh
Ross Machine Racing is working on one it will match the trigger wheel I have. Its designed to use this Hall sensor on diyautotune. I'll keep you posted

[grnfsh]

sweet!

Stupid plumbing question here. Fuel rails are 8an o-ring style? Also, did you use a male 8an o-ring/ 3/8 NPT male-male adapter for the fuel regulator? If so, where did you find one?

I also got my new valve covers to mount the coil brackets and see that the filler holes aren't as close to the end as yours so the stock coil bracket won't fit on the rest of the cover. I guess I'll have to come up with something a bit more custom.

I was thinking of bolting the coils onto the valve covers directly. My only problem was how to bolt them down since you dont want to put a nut under the valve cover and risk it coming lose and falling into your rockers and valve train. My thought was to weld a reinforcement strip of aluminum on the underside of the valve cover and drill and tap threaded holes to screw down the coils. 

[MechTech]

I made a bracket out of aluminum to hold the coils and I used 2 spacers approx 3" tall on each side that sit on the valve cover where the hold down bolts go and found some 4" long bolts to hold it all together it seems to be plenty stiff. The gaskets that I used are made of silicone and are reuseable.

MechTech any update on this?

Great idea with the spacers!  I'm stealing this.

Redmist,
Some questions about your fuel supply and return lines.  IIRC, you used PTFE lines from Frozen Boost.  What size, AN-6?  How did you route the lines?  Did you follow the old hard line path or did you blaze a new one?

Thanks!

[redmist]

They are -8 lines.  I blazed a new path. Ran them under the passenger floor board, about a foot off the rocker seam. My sub frame connectors provide protection for them from impact. I went up the passenger side of the firewall, against the inner fender and to the regulator on the rail.

Hi grnfsh
I was at that shop last Thursday and he had started a cad drawing. I don't know how long it will be till we have one off the machine. If your looking for it sooner than later I can make one for you that's a little rough it will be similar to whats on my motor now. I do have a wheel done. I've attached a picture

[Stormin]

That is a nice looking piece of metal.

You guys are amazing....This whole thing looks scary to me, but I'd love to be injected!!

I'm going to be running a MS3 on my engine build for my 64 Polara...    Should be pretty fun - It's going to be a 440ci build - I'll be running remote coil packs and the cam sensor - onlu difference is I'll be planning on making my own serpentine accessory drive that will incorporate the crank trigger wheel as well as the 3" pulleys....   



Granted this can't happen for a minute - I am accumulating the blower and parts little by little while I'm here over in the sand box.

[peterro]

Since the stock GM coil bracket was too big for my valve covers, I designed a compressed version. The filler/breather holes are more near the mounting indents on the top/bottom of the covers as opposed to the end on redmist's. I'm getting a quote from a friend who can get them cut out for me. Here's what they look like. I did a full size print and the coils match perfectly to the mounting holes.

[MechTech]

Hi peterro
How does it mount? It looks like the coils point at an angle (not perpendicular to the valve cover) on your drawing. Do I see that right? If so will they point the same direction on both sides of the motor?

[peterro]

Yes, that's correct. It unfortunate that they'll point forward on one side and back on the other. The issue is that the coil mounting holes are ~1/3" different, as in uneven from left to right. I needed to compress them into the smallest footprint I could and angling them the other direction becomes too steep of an angle. This way, the mounts of the two adjacent coils overlap on the same line as opposed to original where they're more next to each other. I've attached a photo of the coils sitting on the full scale print of the bracket.

[peterro]

So originally I went with the same basic angle that the stock bracket had but a bit more pronounced. After posting, I started thinking a big more and went out and looked at the coils and I believe It's the wrong solution. I'll rework the bracket and I'm pretty sure it'll be a bit smaller than the one above. Thanks for asking, it'll be better than before.

[peterro]

Here's the redesigned version...

[GPULLER]

Nice job on the bracket!
Has anybody put them somewhere other than on top of the valve covers?

[MechTech]

hi pettero
Is this bracket meant to mount using the valve cover hold down screws? and what is the overall width? Ive attached pictures of my most recent crank sensor bracket and trigger wheel mounted on the motor.
