Default Running EDIS on its own

Can it be done or does it need an ECU ? even a ford one will do if I have to.

Want to run a zetec on carbs, nothing fancy.

No. you will end up with 10deg fixed ign advance.

No good for anything.

What you need is the ign box that looks like an EDIS with a red face of an HCS mk2 fiesta or something.

Does it sit in place of the EDIS or is it wired into the system ?

Hi

I am about to do this to my 1967 Hillman Imp.

I will be using a Coil pack, EDIS4 module, VR sensor and 36-1 trigger wheel from a 1.8 CVH Sierra. I will then use a Megajolt Lite Jr ECU to give me adjustable advance curves.

Do a google search for 'DIY EDIS' and there are a couple of good articles about it. Or read this article http://www.theimpclub.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2225 which is also very useful.

Hope that helps
Chris

Megajolt - the ignition controller of choice - speak to AlexF as he is a main UK dealer for this equipment

I've got one of those, it was originally running the Zetec, on 45's, thats now in my Anglia.

Its currently running OMEX.

I had a MegaJolt, which I sold to a chap who has that running a Zetec on Carbs and its going well apparently.


So... you can take your choice

If you want a plug and go solution and dont want to dick about with maps etc then send me £15 and the HCS is yours
