Many years ago, I purchased an early Rover FI system from Glen Towery who advised me to get a Megasquirt 1 to operate it.  The time has arrived where I hope to install the system over the winter but see that Megasquirt does not sell assembled MS1 systems any longer.  I don't trust my electrical assembly skills enough to order the DIY set so if anyone has a MS 1 system they no longer need, please contact me.  My engine is a Rover SD1, 3.5 liter.

I have an ms1 v3 I took off a car to go with dcoe's. I did have an intermittent ignition issue, found out after I did the swap the tune was set for edis ignition while I was running a distributor. I cannot confirm that was the issue but I am willing to sell on the cheap side because of this.

Hi Richard, good to hear from you!  Hope you have been doing well.

Hi Carl, yes, I'm still around, hoping to attend another meet but something always has come up these last few years.  Hoping to attend next year if they ever open the border back up.  
Have not seen Kelly for some time but we keep in touch.
All good here, just waiting until this virus gets behind us.

Look forward to seeing you again.

I checked with Jim Blackwood, but he has sold his old one.

I'd recommend you consider a Microsquirt.  

You can still get a brand-new, factory-assembled unit. It can be purchased with a nice, new wiring harness too.
