In the photo above you can also see the Throttle Position Sensor. The custom bracket easily attached to my modern Weber 45’s with the provided M6 screws. M5 Screws are also provided to attach the provided sensor. In my case the sensor fit easily when clocked to the second set of mounting holes.

I also purchased the matching 3-pin mini timer rubber shielded connector from Webcon as I was not sure if the connector that ME uses for their TPS sensor loom option was the same, and more importantly they use the same pin configuration.

Here for reference is a repost describing some of the other stuff I have to hand for this project …
[i]I got the sensor mount and pulley from QED. They are in the links below:

qedmotorsport.co.uk/product/cra … g-bracket/
They also list the compatible Ford sensor, although I got mine from the ECU supplier instead.

I am going with the ignition only version of Motorsports-Electronics ECU called the Nodiz Gen-X.
motorsport-electronics.co.uk/pr … c-harness/
The Nodiz Gen-X seems to be a relatively new model. I believe the programming software is now similar to their fuel injection products, rather than earlier versions with mode buttons and some flashing LED’s. The box is water resistant and rugged looking, although still debating whether to mount it under the bonnet or in the interior.
The system will also use a throttle position sensor. I am using this one, which was a very complete & simple screw on kit. You do need to add the matching connector & boot to make up a short loom run to the main Nodiz connector, or specify this loom leg when you purchase the complete deal from ME.

For simplicity of installation I have opted to not use the other features included in the ignition only ECU, including coolant temperature and cooling fan control. I am happy with my already installed Clivey Boy fan controller.
Next on the list is to finish off the loom and unit mounting. I plan to test fire the engine before removing the dizzy. Once I am confident it functions OK I plan to permanently mount the Ford coil pack over top of the dizzy blanking plug; I got one one on eBay that looks a bit better than the QED offering. I am also using a coil pack mounting bracket from TriggerWheels.com, but that still needs some MacGyvering. The idea is the engine can easily be pulled by simply disconnecting the coil pack, TPS, and CPS at their respective sealed connectors and leaving the coil pack and wires in place.
Basically the plan is to retain my new style Weber 45’s but get better ignition performance. I am particularly wanting more advance at highway cruising speed with very small throttle openings. Struggling to get smooth engine performance and reasonable fuel economy without vacuum advance.
Once I get the Nodiz working I am hoping to do up a more complete thread on how it works and so forth. Although the ECU is preloaded with a suitable ignition curve the system will require one time only programming to set the position of the missing tooth relative to TDC. Other than the three connections to the engine, the only other wiring required is a four way connector with ground, pure clean 12v power supply, ignition trigger wire, and tach signal output, so the whole thing is really quite simple and slimmed down.
Anyway, I got the trigger wheel mounted and a very nice consistent gap to the sensor, although I had to bend the mount slightly. The QED mount included three 1 1/4” hex head cap screws, but I separately purchased longer socket head screws to stay consistent with the other oil pan fasteners. Hopefully I haven’t created a pan leak.
I am presently waiting on a correct fan belt, which has to be installed before the sensor is buttoned up for the final time.
