Barry,

Yep, the radio shack part you purchased should work just fine.

Thanks,
Brent

The rest of the boards have arrived. I'll be shipping the remainder orders this week!

Thanks,

The MR2's tach (and probably many other OEM units) requires a high voltage kickback pulse from the coil in order to operate correctly. The thing to do is adapt a simple diode circuit to sense the kickback from both coils. I updated the EDIS information page with this information: http://picasso.org/...

Hi Ron,

Yours and many others are scheduled to go out early next week. Due to a production problem at the PCB manufacturer I only received a partial order last week- the rest of my order should arrive Monday.

So you'll get your order soon- thanks for your patience
Brent

I would stick with the 1N4004 part. the diodes are used for flyback control (like when you control relays, the diodes absorb the voltage kickback when the relay coil de-energizes). The higher voltage rating of the 1N4004 part is needed to absorb this spike.

Thanks,
Brent

The Ford EDIS module takes care of the hard work regarding synchronizing itself to the teeth on the wheel. All the MJLJ does is tell the ford module what advance to go to. The EDIS module "asks" for the advance command on the PIP line- the MJLJ "answers" back with the appropriate...

Fortunately, you should be able to find that locally- possibly radio shack should have it

Hey-

the real question is- will the EDIS module work on a rotary.. To the best of my knowledge, no..

Somone feel free to correct me however.

Brent

Your best bet is to get a plug wire set for the original car (93 ford escort, for example) and take apart the wires and adapt them to your original wires.

I actually have an update! I received the shipping confirmation on the boards from FedEx.. As soon as their system is updated with the expected delivery date I'll be able to estimate when I'll be able to ship them out to you!

Thanks,
Brent

Thank you for the feedback; I will consider making completed kits. Can you estimate the number of units that would be spoken for if they were made available?

Brent

I will have the next batch of boards soon, very soon!

I'll be quite busy fulfilling the order backlog when I get them.

Thanks for your patience. I didn't expect this level of interest!

At the bottom I detailed how the sensor should be mounted in relation to TDC, for the different EDIS modules. Hopefully this should help the installation process!

Brent

Thanks for the link. I'll take a look at it when I have a chance!

For 6 cylinder applications the sensor is 60 degrees BTDC.
