Crank sensor and a 36-1 trigger wheel.
Edis module from a 90's ford (electronic distributor ignition system)
Coil pack from a ford ka.
Different ways if doing it too, carbs need a tps in them or you do MAP (manifold air pressure) but inlet read bad news in map systems, good on tps.
Can get it from trigger-wheels but need to build
It up and make brackets etc for sensor, trigger wheels requires a spacer too as abf crank has a dampening ring on the pulley.

I think its great myself, stronger starts even when cold, cleaner revs, and raised rev limit.
With an abf though you'll need a spacer for the bottom pulley not included. Any machine shop can make this up for you.

It read from a tps on the carbs, if yours haven't got one then I suggest you get some carbs with a tps (throttle position sensor)
Either that or get the map version of megajolt and works/reads the pressure in the manifold. But to be specific you'd need a tap onto all 4 cylinders, not something you wanna do when smoothing…

The megajolt is an ecu, its run alongside the ford EDIS module. The edis sends the spark.
The ecu takes a reading of both crank position, so it knows which cylinder to fire, and tps, so yeah on a way, it knows how wide the throttle is and knows how to spark.
Once its tool the signal, it then goes to edis, which sends spark to the coil pack, then down the appropriate lead.
In all, I was very happy when running it, would still be running it but I'm doing a turbo, it can't control boost so I need megasquirt now.
The wiring, once you get your head around it, isn't complicated as such, its pretty dumbed down more than anything.

Yes you can run an aftermarket tacho
And its setup via a laptop (get lead and cd with the pack)
