I am looking for a stand alone ignition system to use with my mechanical
fuel injection.
Does anybody have an experience with this system. I understand that all it
needs is power and a input from a trigger wheel. The units and the trigger
wheels can be found in junk yards I am sure. I can also make a trigger wheel
with a plasma cutter.

This is stuff from Google.

Ford used the EDIS module on a number of vehicles from 1990 to 199X.

The EDIS-4 module is used on the following vehicles equipped with the 1.9
liter straight-4
Ford CVH engine between 1990 and 1993:

    * Ford Escort / Mercury Tracer
The EDIS-6 module is used on the following vehicles equipped with the 4.0
liter Ford
Cologne V6 engine between 1990 and 1995:

    * Ford Ranger / Mazda B-Series
    * Ford Explorer / Mazda Navajo
    * Ford Aerostar
The EDIS-8 module is used on the following vehicles equipped with the 4.6
liter V-8
Ford Modular engine between 1990 and 1997:
    * Lincoln Town Car
    * Ford Crown Victoria / Mercury Grand Marquis
    * Ford Thunderbird / Mercury Cougar
    * Ford Mustang


Paul,
I am off to a customer meeting, when I return I will call you to go over
ford system. It does require a computer, and the computer is firing the
coils. Available in single coil on plug style as well as lost spark systems
with wires. Obviously the coil on plug has the least possibility of radio
interference. The only parts we could use easily on a rotary is the coil
packs and pick up sensors.

We might be able to trick the EDIS to think it was connected to a computer.
Ernest has a O-scoop so perhaps he can tell use what data the Megasquirt
must send to the EDIS.
