Timbo is coming to cincy in a megasquirt rocco

Cool,
So I'm on the right track with my stock 16v dizzy.  I've got a v3 board coming. It looks like it should be simple to setup. Yea your right the tables will be another thing, but if I get to that point I'll be a happy camper. 
I'm hoping to complete my project thru the winter...If I can get enough knowledge by then to actually get it installed and up and working.  I'm hoping I will be able to go MSnS-E without problems.  But I'm real anxious since I'm not that experienced with all this and there's not alot of people in my area to draw on. That's why I'm excited about Cincy meet so I can see some installed and talk to people that have done it.  If I get it running and actually get to the tables I'll consider it a successful project for me!!!

I'm sure I'll be beating you up with questions Dan when I get to the point of actually working on my MS.  So PLEASE stay on the list!  You guys are the only help I have available.

Thanks
David
