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

Hi Paul,
I have the trigger wheel for this system.  I replaced the motor in my
mother-in-law's Escort. I may even have the trigger and the coil too.  The
trigger wheel is part of the crank pulley and balancer.  They are yours if
you like.  Thanks for running this great list, Ernesto

Thanks Ernesto. I'll take you up on that offer.
Do you ever get down to Ventura in the course of your work?
If not I'll pay for shipping.

No, not lately.  I'm working the Santa Maria area.  Just give me your
address again and I'll mail it to you.
Ernesto

OK Ernesto. Thanks.

After giving it considerable thought, I think the EDIS is the simplest most
economical route to go.

Paul, if you will take a pix of the rotor and publish it, I will make a
Rhino 3D and see if I can make one. If anyone else is interested, I will
make enough for all.  I might need some help with the electronics.

I agree Doc.

Here are the pictures and a pdf on the system.

Doc.

Here is a great article about a guy in Paul's neck of the woods, who was/is
still  ahead of his time.
