Quote: I guess that seems more complex to me adding a trigger wheel.
I like the fact it is all in the distributer. Less add on's to the engine, less aftermarket parts to buy vs a junkyard pull.
Well the trigger wheel setup would be 100% junkyard parts. You take the ring and add it to your crank pulley. Then you make a bracket to hold the trigger sensor. If you're not good at fabbing you can buy this stuff pre-made even. But the mods to do it yourself are well documented, seems like a no-brainer to me, edis-4, -6 and -8 systems have been added to piles of vehicles. Many instructions on the net on how to do it as well as the megasquirt forums. The thing I like about the edis system is you can test it out with your carb. If the edis system is unplugged or fails to get a signal from the engine computer, it defaults to 10* btdc as a limp-home measure. But if the distributor is what you want, go for it, just bare in mind that 99% of the focus from others on modding for ignitions to other applications is going to be the edis stuff.
