Right now the ignition is still a mallory distributor and MSD coil. I didn't want to touch the ignition system until I get the fuel dialed in fairly close.

For a trigger, I'm using the supplied Hall sensor and a VR conditioner circuit. It did not come with a pull up resister, and the shop I bought it from did not recommend one. But, on advice from people on the MS board, I installed one anyway. It's cheap ($1.38) and easy (15 minutes), so I figured Why Not?

The engine started, and seemed to idle OK. But it was late, so I didn't run it more than a minute or so. The issue I'v been having is that I can get the engine to start and idle, and I can get it tuned to about 200-2300 rpm's. Any more than that and the trigger noise overwhelms the circuits and I get a sync loss.

I'll try again tomorrow
