Mega Squirt n spark will provide spark control, I may upgrade my MS I to 
include the spark control.It is a realatively minor change.

  my recent theory and the possible way i will do it is to use a jonnie's 
4-play carb intake on a dual port motor with a small holly fi that is made to 
replace a factory carb. the advantages to the megasquirt is you have control 
over the pulse width that the injectors will have so you can take a potentially 
over carbeurated engine and tame it back down to what i needs. not to mention 
the fact that you could easily throw a turbo on it and have plenty of fuel to 
back up the air.definately been looking hot and heavy into various ideas in 
acheiving the fuel injection and electronic spark control.
