Timbo is coming to cincy in a megasquirt rocco

[jdbubb at verizon.net (Dan Bubb)]

Yeah, there isn't much to it, but don't forget you need to substitute a fixed advance distributor for the normal mechanical and vacuum advance distributor.
And let's not forget you need to have an idea of what advance the engine needs to have across the load/RPM ranges.
There's no easy tool to help ignition tuning like the WB-O2 assists with fuel tuning. Just avoiding ping or knock isn't enough.
