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

[WHITE AND RED 69]

Looks awesome!

Wow!  That is awesome!  Please put me in for one of the CPS bushings if you ever get that off the ground.  Thank you.  I just finished converting my daughters 65 stang to the 5.0 EFI and I am very impressed with the reliability and performance.  My 68 Charger was going to get a modern 5.7 or 6.1 but I do believe this route you have taken is much more fun.  Thanks for sharing.

Glad you've got it out and showing off.

Any news on CPS adapters?

[grnfsh]

Does anyone have a 3D printer?  Could probably reproduce the adapters pretty quickly with one. Just a thought

[redmist]

I think I need to source the adapter project to someone else. Life is just full right now. In the last six months, I have put my mom in the ground, bought a foreclosed home, sold existing home, had a baby, started ISO certification at work, and launched a product line...

I am spent folks.

I don't know if ARengineering would be able to do it?

But right now is not a good time for me! I just need.... More time, haha   

[cptjohn]

Sorry for the loss of your mom.  Any chance of getting the specs on the adapter sometime?

I do, and I've had a blast printing parts for automotive use. I'm not sure it would be the ideal tool for this situation, but if the part were printed in a suitable material, probably a higher grade nylon, it might work. The two things to keep in mind are operating temperature and chemical resistance, so there's probably a suitable filament out there.

That being said, I'd probably sooner turn one on the lathe out of a lump of aluminum.

Hi Redmist, sorry to hear about your mom and the general busy-ness of life catching up with you.

I've just about got your adapter plagiarized, and I had one question: Have you experienced any oil seeping between the adapter and the CPS, and did you make provisions for any sort of seal or o-ring in this area? In one of your photos, I think I see something black (possibly an o-ring) between the adapter and the horizontal flange of the CPS. I don't think you addressed this in any of your posts.

Take care,

Jim

[redmist]

My original one had an O-ring designed in it... However I never installed it.

The second one I made also was without O-ring. I have yet to see any oil running up, our, or around the adapter. Even after blasting the car down the track a few times, it's nice and dry!

[grnfsh]

Redmist, I know a few guys with machine shops that could probably take on the job.  I've hesitated to ask them to try and make one out of respect for you. if you don't mind I'm going to see if they can make the adapter as well.  One is a mopar guy so if I show him a pic he may be able to make one.  Do you have specs written down?

I kind of figured a machined unit out of Aluminum would be better, was just an idea.

[redmist]

Anyone can make one, I am not tied to the idea in any way... Heck if people start building them, perhaps other ideas will form!

I can't give specs for it, as it is under company policy.


But yes, build away folks!

Understood.  thanks dude!

GRNFSH, I'll be happy to share the specs of the one I came up with on my own from looking at Redmist's unit... if he's cool with it, that is.

Mine has not yet been put into a running engine, but it has been in two different spare 440 short blocks in my shop.

[grnfsh]

sounds good, we'll get it worked out

[redmist]

Have at it kids!

Like I said, I would rather someone who has the time to make this happen, make it happen! I am excited that people are so interested in it, and it worked out so well. That's enough for me.

I ordered my MS3 ECU yesterday. Time to get moving on this.

[redmist]

Get some!!!

[shawge]

Hey redmist, about the wiring for the Jeep CPS.  Is this what you came up with?

Looking into the connector: ( 1  2  3 )
Pin 1, signal output (Tan/Yellow wire)
Pin 2, ground (Black/Light blue wire)
Pin 3, +5v supply (Orange wire)

[redmist]

Here ya go:

SWEEET

[grnfsh]

Hey you guys see this from Mallory?  It has a crank and cam sensor.  It would eliminate the need to make the CPS adapter too. It is however a lot more expensive and they don't make it for Mopars yet.

I don't think it has enough points to successfully run an MS Unit. 36-1 would be the smallest I would use. That distributor would replace the "Flying Magnet" 8 point systems found for the MSD Ignitions. and the likes.

Hell would freeze over before they offered an RB/B version as well, ha!

Yeah, I know, even though a mopar distributor would be one of the easiest to do it on.  Speaking of that. Would the MSD Flying magnet work with the MS?
