Two warnings, when working with GEMS vehicles, never try to locate a misfire by pulling plug leads off, pull the injector connector instead. Otherwise you can blow up the ECU.

I'd recommend going to www.google.com and querying for 'Soldering Technique' and reading up a bit, and maybe pickup up a cheapo practice kit if you want to practice your technique a bit before starting in on the MegaSquirt.

How does the NPL compare?

Netscape Public License FAQ
The NPL and MozPL both attempt to strike a middle ground between promoting free source development by commercial enterprises and protecting free source developers. Like the GPL, they require that any and all changes to code covered by the license must be made publicly available. However, they also allow you to combine covered code with other code to create a larger work without requiring that other code to be covered by the license. This is similar to, but even less restrictive, than the LGPL.

Tech Article: Will the MegaSquirt and MegaSquirt-II work with my Stock Ignition System?

DIYAutoTune.com FAQ / Frequently Asked Questions on the Mega...
Ford EDIS is a distributorless ignition system that's very easy to adapt to just about any internal combustion piston engine out there-you just need to mount (weld) a 36-1 trigger wheel to your crank pulley and build a bracket for the VR sensor to locate it next to the trigger wheel. That's the hardest part and the only fab work. The rest is a bit of wiring. The EDIS system has an EDIS module and a coil pack. The module is wired to the VR sensor and the MegaSquirt, and also the coil pack.

DIYAutoTune.com FAQ / Frequently Asked Questions on the Mega...
This is the most important thing to determine when attempting to control both fuel and spark. In an ideal situation, you can take control of your stock ignition system and call it a day. That is most common on distributor based vehicles. If you're willing to do a bit of modification to the MegaSquirt in the way of adding coil drivers it makes this a valid option for many more ignition systems.
