Installing a home made fuel injection system instead of the Lucas 4CU was decided because the extra fuelling could not be accomplished properly with the old Lucas system. The Megasquirt open source system was chosen because it was an open source system and it was cheap and you can build it yourself.

The Yahoo Megasquirt site is very active and everybody is very helpful if you have any problems. The Megasquirt system has a "simple" setup (compared to all other systems that I know) so you should stand a good chance of getting a car up running rather quickly. What's the benefit of a zillion adjustments if you only need a few adjustments to get the car running good. The point here is that you do not have to be an expert to tune this system and you do not loose the overview of the system because of it's size.


Finally thanks to Bruce Bowling, Al Grippo, Eric Fahlgren and all other people that joined in making this system available this way. And not to forget the comprehensive FAQ of Lance Gardiner at Megasquirt FAQ.
