here are some quick links to the EDIS system, The one below is probably makes the system seam much more complex than it is, However it is also very in depth, and explains everything.

and here is the Megajolt ECU ...

The first, and most important thing to do research on if the Ford EDIS ignition system,, Its a gem, and it takes a ton of headaches out because it handles the crank triggering, tach output, and high amp coil drivers all in one easily available packages,, Even if you want to keep a carb on the car ...

All said and done, im into my EFI swap for about 600$, this includes the fuel pump, and wideband lambda sensor.

i still need to neaten things up under the hood, things like fuel lines and wires are not tidy yet, and my throttle linkage needs a revision..

also, maybe somebody can set me straight ...

its a long path, and one im still not finished with,, But the benifits are pretty awesome.

the best place to start is with some reading, and looking around at EFI systems there are a ton of different ways to do it, you just need to figure out which one you like the best!

tough crowed, i figured a fuel injected, distributes ignition system fitted to a corvair would get a few more questions,...

I know its been awhile since ive posted, however between a move, and Life the car has taken a little bit of a back burner

So to start things off, its now running megasquirt Fuel injection, with quad throttle bodys, and Ford EDIS ignition system (non distributor) Here is what you all want to see ...

Thanks a bunch, im doing a EFI conversion, that also uses a distributerless ignition system, and before i run it i wanted to make sure i would do damage removing the dizzy.

a ten second question for anybody who knows corvairs,,

Does the oil pump in any way, shape, or form rely on the distributor to circulate oil? if a car was capable of running without a distributor, would running a car with the dizzy completely removed and a plug hole cause any damage?

Im in the middle of chasing a similer tick in my motor. Is there some way to check the lifters on the car? How easy should they be to push in? ect ect.

The motor is a fresh rebuild (in terms of cylenders, pistons, rings and bearings) also installed roller rockers. But i did not install new lifters ...

An update, the car now runs on Ford EDIS ignition, Which for those of use who are megasquirt savy know, is an awesome system, that is very compatible with the next step (fuel injection)

nothing really intersting to show for pictures beside the lack of distrubuter. ill take some in the morning

This car crys for a flat black paintjob,, Love it

Update, The first set of throttle bodys is in, with the second on order, Air filters, and MS stuff are in the mail EDIS 6 parts are in hand.. Im finishing up the tail end of parts gathering with a fuel pump, throttle cables, and potentially a new wiring harness

Yet again im implemented some saab ...

Time for some shameless promotion! See my for sale add!!

Drums in new england are not really much good, we have lots of hills, blind corners, and bad drivers. all of these really justify having bettter brakes

i ended up using the master cyl from a ford f150. however i need a distribution block in the system to get it really stopping well

the corvette ...

I have lots of experince with turbo cars, just not turbo corvairs.

To me, if i wanted to make power on a turbo vair, ,i would not go with a bigger turbo, but get a smaller/same size turbo that is wastegate regulated. Then add an intercooler, and larger downpipe. a setup like this will make more ...
