I couldn't find exactly what I wanted in the aftermarket. I ended up making everything I needed. I connected it to a Megasquirt ECU and ran a coil pack, eliminating the distributer from the ignition system.







Very accurate, and dead nuts reliable. Raced/drove it for four years without a hitch.
I am using a megasquirt on a FE 482 build, I have not gotten to the point of programming yet as I am waiting on my manifold. I will be using a crank trigger very similar to yours, also not using a distributor. I am curious to how you will drive your oil pump and tell the ECU if you are on intake or exhaust stroke? I made a custom cam sync sensor by cutting up a brand new MSD pro billet dist and cutting the top from a F150 cam sync sensor and came up with this...

Cam position sensor
