Is there a port of the latest firmware, would you release it under an opensource licence?

Yeah sorry, 4mm might be less, need to check. The lead does run 'near' the alternator but not incontact with it. It is then at least 6" from the coil pack and HT leads maybe further.

What else should I route the cable to avoid?

I will try to have a look ASAP

I have tried taking the power direct from the battery. Any way SUCSESS!!!! I was messing around with my points (WD40) and thought I would give the MJ a go, I plugged in the MJ but missed out the TPS. Started the car and sucsess! It looks like the TPS was giving bad readings (Vibration?) when startin...

Would the MSD coil give a greater voltage to the spark for my 10.5 cranking V's?

I knew about RF circuits (Tuned arials etc), just never translated the theroy (Silly me). Any way I do have a spare battery now, as I replaced the one in the car and fully charged the old one (You never know with an old car when the battery will go flat!). I am going to swap the start out tonight, b...

I did not think about the cap as to help the voltage but only as to reduce the RF, I would of thought that the charging time and the discharging time would not be enough to make much of a difference to the juice received by the coil pack though. I will have to wait and see if the current draw on the...

I have tried 3 coils all give the same problem.

I am convinced that the input voltage is not high enough during cranking, thanks for your help though.

Anyone else got any sugestions to check, is it worth swaping the cap out for a 20uF? There does not seem to be much noise on the power line.

There is a cap on it but it might only be 3uF off hand though, the MJ software does not lock up when I crank it and works fine too I should have added.

No, it cranks like it should, start fine on the dizzy. If I connect just 1 spark plug to the dizzy, it starts and then run's on the MJ, I can put all 4 on the MJ once its started. I have been through checking the earth's and all 'seem' fine, I have tried running +ve direct from the battery and an ex...

Thank you for your reply, the input voltage is taken direct from 12V permant line the voltage drop is (I think) caused by the current draw on the starter motor.

Does any one know what's the minimum spec voltage for the coil pack?

I have installed MegaJolt in my MGB. The system works well but I can not start the car on the MJ. After my inital investigation as to why it would not work, cranking the car showed a week spark, but as soon as the car started it gave a nice strong spark. If I start the car on the dizzy then 'careful...
