Logging older engine

I have an older car (1948 MG TC supercharged). It has a distributor and carburettor, no ECU and few sensors.
As well as some of the things you have listed on here (eg: boost, EGt, etc) I want to monitor RPM, knock and ignition advance.
Is it possible to monitor and log these parameters? How would you recommend collecting the necessary signals?
Thanks in advance...

For RPM you will need any signal from hall sensor (you can assembly universal hall sensor with magnets https://www.reveltronics.com/downloads/ ... E4905L.pdf)

Knock and ignition advance unfortunately is not supported.

Thank you,
I get the rpm method. I think I could use this knock sensor which has a 0-5v output.
Would I be able to connect this to an analogue channel and log it?

Yes you can connect it to any AdcX input and use other value scaling which you are not using, e.g. connect is as EGT, AFR, Boost or anything else and scale it to your needs and then you can log it in datalogger.
