71 Duster 360 turbo build

If you have all of these parts, why not use a MS3X? That way you can get sequential spark and fuel. Batch firing and wasted sparking a turbo car may not be the best idea if you plan on pushing it. The magnum distributor will work fine. The Jeep cam sensor route is fairly easy too and it will save some space. I like where my coils are located for a nice appearance, but they do make it difficult to work on anything back there. The brackets also weren't fun to make. I hope to add a supercharger one day, which will require a return style fuel system. That will obviously take up more space. I've thought about moving the coils to the top of the valve covers when I do that. After all, it won't look "stock" anymore without the factory air filter on it.

I did struggle with the choice between the two, but decided on microsquirt and already made my purchase. At the time I planned to still use the distributor and single coil, but then my MSD box died and reading led me to wasted spark. I couldn’t find any downfall in regards to wasted spark until about 10k rpm so I believe I’ll be fine and still FAR better off than I was with the distributor alone. My engine bay certainly doesn’t look stock, but I do want it to look as uncluttered as possible.

What size is your trigger wheel? It looks like it barely clears the water pump…8 1/4?
