If this is similar to the Omex one then it couldn't be easier.
A couple of wires to the coil and an earth job done

If you mean the Omex one or something similar then yes!
Very simple to fit

Sorry dude i put the wrong one this is the one i asked about and this is the blokes reply
This is the reply i got from the chap.

Hi, thanks for the enquiry, but I'm afraid I'm not an expert on applications. My car has carbs and a distributor and it worked fine. According to the stuff on the leaflet it'll work so long as you have a single ignition coil fired by a negative earth trigger. If you're not sure then I'd advise taking expert advice rather than mine
As for the wiring, the three leads attached are all it needs; a supply, an earth and a lead that goes to the coil to allow it to mess with the spark if you get too enthusiastic with your right foot.
Thank you for your enquiry.

Spadge will this work wid mine dude?

cheers for all ya help dude

Usually simple to fit - but difficult to get used to.

They tend to bog your car down on the start line a lot more. I much prefer starting manually under full control, and its cheaper.

Does that 2nd one have launch control ?

so what do these do then?

just limit the revs to a preset? then when you've got some momentum you turn it off again or are they a little more automatic than that?

They cut the revs - until you back off, then it gives you full revs again until you reach the limit... again

The launch control ones are a little more sophisticated but still bog the car down if your not used to it, or until you get used to it.

so if you were using launch control on a 1/4 mile or whatever, you would need to manually switch it off when you got traction?

be quicker not to use id of thought unless you have a wooden right leg

dont understand why you would want launch control on a 2wd car anyway.

Was good on the datsun with the power FC just nail the accelerator with the cutch down in 1st and it holds the revs at 4.5k (poping and banging all over the show) and as soon as you dump the clutch the car just takes off

discoverd by accident thought the car was broken at first
