Running Megasquirt on your LT1? Post your setup

I'm sick and tired of battling my stock setup for whatever is making it spark/inject randomly. I have a megasquirt II and the dealership harness for it. I even have a baseline turbo tune, although the megasquirt editor doesn't seem to like it. Version levels or something. Anyway, I really want to know how you're triggering the megasquirt. Did you go with the 36/1 wheel and ford sensor? If so, how did you append the wheel to the harmonic balancer? Pics would be beneficial too!
Thanks!

We put a 36-1 wheel on the stock balancer just by tapping four of the holes that are in the balancer and bolting the wheel to it. Then used a mag trigger and mount from a MSD crank trigger kit.

Now we're getting somewhere. I know I can order the wheel from that DIY website. Do you have a part number for the MSD items? Thanks for the response!

i was going to go with the big trigger wheel from diyautotune.com .. I then saw a post with a link to someone who used a stock mustang 4.6L wheel and it was attached/pressed onto the stub shaft that the balancer is bolted to... now I'm wondering which was is better.. diyautotune wheel will mean you need your pickup on the outside of the belt... I'm holding off for a little more research
