Ignition replaced

Today I disconnected the old Bosch transistorized ignition system and replaced it with a new one, controlled by the MegaSquirt system. 

I will drive the car for a couple of days and see how it works out, used a "stroboscope lamp" to get the mechanical ignition advance curve and made a ruff estimation out of this to create my new ignition table.

So far I must say that the car feels a little bit more responsive, could be the ignition table that makes the difference since its more linjear then the mechanical advance from on the distributor.

I also use Megasquirt to controll the electrical fan, I just put in a start temp(90degC) and a hysteres(3degC) and it will only start when necassery.

Have some more things to concerning wireing since I first want everything to work then I can put the right length on every cable including the ignition cables for the sparkplugs.

Made a shelf for the coilpack on the opposite side of the distributor.
Used the AC compressor mounting holes for the shelf.
Coilpack in place

Snake nest!!! will fix this soon

Distributor disconnected

Electrical fan also controlled by MegaSquirt from now on (via the relay). The old temp. switch are seen on the hose at the bottom here.
