For anyone reading I found my issue. It was a bad or incorrect TFI. Installed the MS2 into 2 other cars and it worked properly. Removed the TFI from one of my other projects and installed it into my 91 and now it runs with the spout installed. Going to attempt tuning this weekend.

Glad you figured it out. Would like to know if the TFI was bad or just the wrong one.

Mine is grey but a cheap aftermarket one so who knows what the internals are

I expect it operated outside of normal parameters and the factory ECU was able to cope while the standard megasquirt spark output circuit was not.
I've run the standard spark out to the grey (fixed dwell) and black (computer controlled dwell) modules successfully. We tried standard dwell just to see but it had no effect.
I'm sure there's a way to modify the output so it would have worked but getting a normally functioning module is still probably the better answer.

Mine is the grey equivalent that came with the MSD Pro Billet Distributor. I still have the Ford original & another Ford distributor, both need rework.
BTW, Ford no longer manufactures distributors which is why I got the MSD.
The Pro Billet is a quality piece

You guys end up figuring the issue out? I have the same ms2 3.57 extra non pnp with stimulator and Bluetooth connector I’m prolly gonna put up for sale but don’t have a clue on the value. My plans changed when I decided to go supercharged with nitrous and of course an aftermarket cam too, and these being speed density I’m gonna switch to a MAF setup.....any input anybody?

EDIT: There were a couple issues in this thread, the 1st one we weren't able to complete the troubleshooting, the 2nd one was resolved.
Megasquirt can do MAF, your call if you want to replace it.

Yup. I want to say Blown88GT uses the MAF strategy.
I haven't done it myself as I haven't had the opportunity to play with it yet, but it should be much easier than SD for basic fuel. As with all things MAF the most important part is an accurate transfer function. If that is accurate than your fuel table is your AFR target table.
With speed density that can be true too but you have to put in a lot of work to get the VE table dead on in every cell, then you can just command a target AFR. It's simpler to get a MAF transfer function right than to get every cell in a VE table right.
