No idea if NM give us discount, but if you intend to take the car there for a rolling road tune, they'd be the folks to talk to about which system to go for.

So if I’m going to ditch the dizzy Megajolt and what other options?

Tbh, I think that's a bit over kill for a Pinto. As I said earlier I'm using a standard Ford system with the distributor advance curve modified to suit the engine spec by Bestek. Its a very simple solution, and I'm happy with the way it performs. I'd stick with the dizzy, either get one already converted and "mapped" for your engine, or get yours altered.

Understand it may be a bit OTT, but got used to cars and bikes that start on the button

Thinking long term if I want to do an updated engine swap at later dates least I’ve already got the ecu

It makes sense if you're thinking of going fuel injection down the line sometime..
