I did a search on this and couldn't find much of anything about it, so I thought I would make a thread about it...
I'm likely changing my Mustang to Megasquirt over the winter and I was STRONGLY considering changing the engine to EDIS, which would allow me to eliminate the distributor (which wouldn't be too difficult) which would clean up the engine bay a bit, as well it would allow adjustment of the timing on each individual cylinder which would be great from a tuning stand point.
I was basicly thinking of taking a distributor and cutting it off just above the base, so it would 90% eliminate the distributor, while still having the oil pump driven off the camshaft. I was planning on taking an EDIS set up off a crown vic or something (any 4.6 I can find in the junkyard really) and setting it up on my engine, and having the Megasquirt control it.
Anyway, it would be awesome if I could get some input from you guys on this...tell me if I'm missing something here or if any of you have any experience doing this or have seen it done.
