I am considering removing the distributor on my Daimler 250 V8 engine and run a ignition ECU like Megajolt or Nodiz. Are there any other brands at reasonable price I should look into?

I need the space where the dizzy is to fit a new inlet manifold for either four Weber IDFs or four DCNFs. Trigger wheel will be mounted at the crank pulley.

You could probably adapt a ford edis-8 system to fit.

Megajolt uses Edis. Edis only will give a fixed 10 advanced curve only.

I've done a couple of megasquirts and it'll comfortably run either/or as you wish. As long as you give it a timing signal, throttle position & vacuum, it'll work. Appreciate this is "more" than you're looking at...

The query was injection only ecu ??

Now you're asking about ignition ?

DTA make an ignition only...but pretty sure it only does 4cyls

Not even sure if Nodiz have the 8cyl working yet ? I do recall them saying they were working on one though

Long term, and if you were considering injection at some point, is just to buy a full ecu, and only use it for ignition

Sorry
It was supposed to be ignition only. Will keep the carbs for fueling.

Omex used to make an ignition only unit called the 200. Not sure if they still do.

Sounds like you want something like 123 ignition - designed exactly for that purpose with built in maps.

The Megajolt is tempting as the edis will give me a limp home mode should the ecu stop working. However the Nodiz is tempting aswell as it has easier tuning options via bluetooth/mobile and skips the Edis.

Also the suggestion to go full Ecu with injection capabilities, but only usi g the ignition, is tempting but would be quite a few more £.
