hey guys has anybody ever adapted ford EDIS to another 4cy motor? i know it can be done but i dont know anything about it. can anybody help?

megasquirt guys love it, jump on their site/forum and you will discover all!

Megasquirt costs a lot if all you want is crank-trigger ignition.

Here's my 1200 with EDIS:

love that brake splitter, wish ours were as quality as that one

DD can you show us the coil packs or is that old black tin can it? :))

Try looking this web page over.

Your wish is my command. I ended up mounting it here on the core support next to the radiator:



Can somebody help me make the wiring look nice?


For late 1200 utes, with the battery in front, the stock coil location works well:



The Ford coil pack is designed to mount on the Kent cylinder head, so I think mounted directly on the A12 and use short plug wires would be the ultimate. But I couldn't figure out how to make a bracket for that. I'm not good at fabricating things, but figured out how to do this EDIS install.


Almost 2 years now, still runs perfect. A rock-solid idle is the most noticeable thing.

so what is the difference in using the edis compared to the stock?

* It is electronic -- no points
* It is hotter spark than Datsun electronic ignition
* It produces a rock-solid idle, probably because there is no gear lash and other play as in the distributor
* New vacuum advance unit is $75 (and most are broken), I have $120 in this setup
* I can tune the mechanical and the vacuum advance with a laptop

So far I've only got the A12 stock map, haven't experimented with extra timing.


This would be great for E15 or GA16 with rwd 5-speed.

dd do you think this would be a good option for a turbo or supercharged if it is tuneable??
