Default DIS ignition question - and a quick update with the car :)

Hi Guys, got a couple of quick questions on this, as i'm going to get on the phone and order it as soon as I get paid....
Where can i get a replacement dizzy cap from? - the flat ones without lead fittings?

Am I right in thinking that the best place to fit the coilpack is the original place where the boggo coil goes? - If so, what bracket to you all use, as I know that Zetec coilpacks are not flat at the bottom (and i'd assume thats whats used?)

AS soon as I get this sorted, the car will be having all of the breather system 'quiped (with the below) along the fitting of my 500 wideboy cooler, slim fans, turbo cooler, swirl pot, w/c pas tank, and quip fittings for all of this.... - I can wait to get started! - here is the lastest batch that arrived this week:



Cheers
Rich

Yeah mate - Its off of Daves car - and this is the best pic that I have (its obviosuly one from when he had it all on his car...) Soz, but thats the best i've got - the parts are all up in the loft untill I fit them...


There are 4 fittings on it - 2 to the PAS, and 2 for the watercooling
Water cooling are -6, PAS are -8 and a -10 i think...

IF you can wait for a couple of weeks, then I can get you close up pic's of the bits that i've got, and measure the lenght of the hoses, and be certain the fittings are -8 and a -10.
Only thing that may trip you up is the metal PAS pipes, as i've got the quip fittings welded onto those too, for ultimate "tarty-ness" - (got those off of Dave too )

Ripley first if its ok to use coz it was his original design.

P8 (the Escort Cosworth ECU) is inherently DIS capable, and can easily and cheaply be switched into the DIS mode with NO changes of hardware, and the associated cost implications!

Inded it can, but rev counters are hardly free are they?

The Ford one wont work if its just software enabled so you do have both cost & hardware implications unless you use my driver which works fine with the std counter.
