It is extremely easy to go with EDIS with megasquirt. The EDIS stuff is dirt cheap at a local auto dismantler. Donor vehicle is late 90s Ford Ranger, or explorer. Plug wires from a late 90 Ford Crown Victoria work well too. You will need a toothed wheel/crank pulley, and VR sensor. i got mine from Blank. I DID have an issue with my first crank pulley cracking in half, but i saw they have a new version now. It is fairly reliable. I was also able do do a coil on plug set up using 2 edis modules, and coils from a Honda CBR motorcycle. Obviously, Turbokraft, or Clewitt have what you need also, but my setup cost pennies on the dollar compared to those guys(No disrespect intended)
BTW, i started with the BITZ megasquirt set up, but when i went turbocharged i ended up ditching the BITZ ecu for a Microsquirt, it is quite a bit more advanced than the megasquirt 1 and you have much more control, not to mention the ability to run spark also. The BITZ is pretty much maxed out right out of the box without upgrading.

My distributor has seen better days, the rebuild services are pricey and new examples are over a thousand bucks. I have Bitz Racing EFI kit that is being installed, its Megasquirt V3.0 hardware and software. I have and am familiar with the full version of TunerStudio.

How hard is the Ford EDIS system to install on these engines? I would need a new map for MS because the Bitz stock one is for a naturally aspirated motor with the stock ignition system.
