The boot for a stock Datsun distributor is a LOT smaller than the one for an EDIS ignition module. I'm thinking about a good way to set this up. Maybe buy a set of Ford ignition wires, cut them down, and crimp on spark plug ends? Maybe just get plugs from like a 90's Fiesta? Anyone done this and have suggestions for what worked well?

Couple of choices

* Using Ford EDIS 4-cyl coil pack, use 1990 Escort plug wires
* Use two Buick 3800 coil packs

My setup with the Escort wires:


RockAuto wires

I've ordered a set of wires. Woo hoo! Thanks!

wait order these instead, guys done his research and link
for his EDIS project should have all the stuff he used!

Cleanest Ive seen on a Datsun and inspired me to go this route one day
for my qr25 headed SR20 with quad 45mm bike carbs, still in the works :)
I got all the parts just need time! check out the bling just beautifilled!!!!
Its another Jaffa Datto but wow!

Those plug wires look like a Ford item but a bit shorter than the Escort ones, where the coil was on the end of the cylinder head

That is one fine looking build. Mine will never be that sorted looking.

I believe they mounted the coil pack right over the distributor hole. I've seen several EDIS builds that did that

I'd like to mount the edis pack on the firewall. The reason is because I'd like to put a supercharger roughly where the distributor is now. However, there's a dipstick in the way and I haven't yet figured out how to deal with that. But like there is just no way there's room for a supercharger on the intake side.

dipstick near the firewall. is this a 1200?

My EDIS plug wires were long enough to mount the coil pack under the battery ...
