your triggering looks good with those high value resistors. I noticed the same effect but was happy so i didn't continue high than about 5kohm.

I originally installed mine triggering off HEI tach signal, with standard r10 resistor. Car runs fine but gets false triggers at high rpm, resulting in the occasional doubling of the rpm.

Next i tried triggering off the -ve coil terminal (still running HEI system). This cured the high rpm spikes but gave me trouble at high load/low rpm missing (cutting out all together).

So next i lifted the R10 resistor upto around 4k (can't rememebr, something like this). This seems to fix my low rpm problems and i haven't had any trouble up in high rpm.

Here's a datalog i took earlier (0-100km/hr in about 8.1seconds Laughing ), i haven't got one of my latest setup since some bastard stole my laptop. I think its smoother than this now, new points and the resistor helped a treat.

The firmware version seems to have an effect on the triggering, megasquirt'n'spark-extra tends to behave differently i noticed.

cheers
