Management

I have a 1.1 formal e

Currently sourcing parts for a engine conversion 
I have bought an abf rebuilt ready to go (engine only) no ecu wiring ect ect

I'm going to run twin 45s what's the easiest way for management ?
And pros and cons for mega squirt emerald ect ect

My Auto electrician friend has toldme I dont need an ecu and I could run it with some ignition lives which I dont really understand ?

Thanks in advance

easiest would be kr or 9a dizzy plus a kr ecu and loom. you'll need a mk2 coil too, and if the car is on points and it has the purpl/white wire to the coil bin this and run your own.



1 - Earth to battery -ve
2 - KR ign controller plug
3 - TCI-H plug
4 - Black - KR ign controller & TCI-H ign live - terminal 15 side of coil
5 - Green - Coil trigger - terminal 1 side of coil
\- red/black - spade is for the isv control unit, the main wire is the rev counter feed
6 - Brown - Earth to cylinder head
7 - Blue/white - Temp sensor feed (use one of the 3 on the side of the head)
8 - Dizzy plug
9 - red/yellow - Fuel pump relay earth trigger
\- black/yellow - idle switch feed (12v feed with throttle shut)

It's been a while and parts are piling up for me to get cracking with the conversion in the next couple of weeks.

Older cars (upto 1979 ish) had "Points" in the dissy to create the spark at the right time on the spark plugs, you have the replace and adjust points every year so electronic ignition was fitted to later cars as no servicing etc was needed.
If you don't know what they are I guess you don't have them.
They look like this.

or if all the engien is long gone check the ignition live wire to the coil from the fusebox. if its black, great, no problem. if its purple/white then this will need chopping out and a fresh wire run
