It's ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After lots of pain and suffering and hang ups on random stuff, my Volvo 242 with Volvo/Penta 2.5L 16v engine runs! The problem with this motor and this car is that the firewall is too close to the back of the head to use the distributor, so I had to be creative. I am using the Volvo flywheel which has a 60-2 Bosch missing tooth wheel on it, along with a VR sensor that gives MegaSquirt n Spark-Extra the signal. Then, for ignition I am using LS1 coil packs that are triggered by MSnS-E in a wasted spark setup. Gah I can't believe it runs!!!
I'll upload the video in a little bit!

Use quicktime. The first minute of it is just me cranking it and then it fires up around a minute in! (After I realized that it's a carbed car and I better pump the throttle a little) AHHH I'm so happy!
