I see this thread is a bit old, but maybe there is life here yet.

I have begun assembling the parts for an MPGuino for my ancient carb car. I got two flow sensors designed for a boat from ebay here: 2 Standard Communications Fuel Flow Sensors Model ft 100 Fuel Transducer | eBay

and I figured out the pins for that. It puts out a nice square wave when plugged in to 12V and I blow in it to get the impeller to spin.

I am following this article to make my VSS.
Installing a Universal Magnetic Pickup Speedometer

I already have the Arduino Uno and will gather the rest of the parts once my VSS is working.

My main question is: I noticed that some have said that the code may have to be changed for a carb car. How would it need to differ exactly?
