I have the ability to adjust the timing to minimum with my Crane igntion, and in reference to a boost pressure, but it doesnt allow me to really "tune" the ignition to any extent. I guess I have no option but to dive head first into the megasquirt and let it do it all. I've read through all the posts in the Ms forum and it seems you all are still experiencing some problems with letting the MS do the ignition and idle etc. Have you been able to resolve those issues?

Yeah, the Crane ignition box can only retard timing with boost, not add any. As for the MS doing ignition, it runs just fine up to 10-11 psi boost, but spark gets weak after that, and it can misfire. It seems to be a hit or miss issue though, as some guys have run over 20 psi without issue. I've talked with James at msefi.com, who does the major work on the code for the MS, and he has found fault in the code for spark dwell. Dwell is the time the ignition coil is charging, before the spark fires. From what i've found, and what he has found, wasted spark dwell has some bugs in it, although it still runs fine as far as timing is concerned. Timing advance seems to be dead on, to what the MS is saying it's at. The car idles fine really, can surge a bit at times, but not bad. I belive once the code is perfected, idle and spark intensity will get much better.
