Title: Fe electronic timing
Post by: 62f100 on March 16, 2013, 11:33:40 PM

wondering if anybody wants to share there ignition table. I know it won't be the same as my motor,but at least I'll get a idea of what it looks like. I'm running megasquirt ms3 msx  with mustang cop,crank sensor,semi sequential & home made fuel rail with bung on performer intake.

I'd be happy to share mine, but I don't know how to get the table from the MS3X into an electronic format that I can post.  If I can figure that out, I'll put it here...

thanks. also what were you going to / using for a cam sensor? i got a hall effect sensor from digikey,but have to build the circuit & a housing. i already cut down a distributor & made a 50/50 trigger wheel. thank again for your help & this great site,dan.

For a cam sensor I used a Hamlin 55075 hall effect gear tooth sensor available from Newark, here:

If you are going to use it in a distributor you might be able to just drill a hole in the distributor housing and bolt the sensor in place through the hole; it's pretty long.  On my high riser engine I had a Danny Bee belt drive, and I just put a steel tab on the cam pulley, and made a bracket for the sensor so that it pointed towards the tab as it went buy.  Seems to work fine...

ordered some allegro ats627 sensor & going to make a custom piece to go over the distributor plug with the sensor potted in the wall.
