Got EDIS running (after rewiring the VR sensor in the right way round!), switched off, plugged in MJL and strobe gun, works 1st time :) no problems. - Well done Brent!

Engine spec: Mid engine Alfa boxer (Flat 4).
Remember to swap HT leads 2 & 4 for boxer engines as EDIS normally runs 1-3-4-2.

I used EDIS 4 from a Ford Mondeo (£20 from a local scrap dealer in Manchester) - the VR sensor was not the front pulley type as I couldnt find one. It read its pulses from cutouts in the flywheel but I found that making cutouts in my existing front crank pulley works just fine - histerysis control in the EDIS means the sensor works even at a much greater distance from the pulley than is set in the pics at:

Glad to see things working for you! Your timing wheel setup is very interesting. In fact, I think getting a timing wheel setup is probably the most challenging part of the whole ignition setup.

I've been seeing a lot of orders from UK and Europe in general. In fact, it's comprised 1/2 of my orders as of late!
