i bought and assembled MS2 with the v. 3.x board and i haven't installed it on my quest because converting to MPI is more money than i care to spend on that engine at this specific time. maybe later. but in the meantime, i'd like to find a good candidate for my MS. maybe the lawnmower. how cool would a turbo'd 50 hp push mower be?

edit: oh yeah, the main reason i replied was about spark control - MS2 has either hall sensor or VR pickup for timing. i was planning on using an MSD flying magnet wheel on the crank pulley. and origionally also a 6AL with a 2 step box, but i found that you can install a high current circuit to drive a coil directly from MS2. and i figured there's probably some software that allows me to have a 2 step anyway.

that may not happen on that car now.
