Car started right up last night. Still tuning today. The only problem I had was that my son syphoned all the gas out my car and I didn't even look at the gas gauge when it quit... just kept fooling with the tuning until my wife asked about the gas gauge. Ford EDIS is next, just bought the stuff on Ebay last night. Now just gotta wait for the MSII.

If you see 455 6pd on the licence plate It be me
To mount the EDIS stuff I made a mount out of 3/4" aluminum that bolted on the fuel pump mount and used a pickup from a Crown Vic. I machined the back of the damper to give a true surface to mount a spacer and bolted the 36-1 wheel to the spacer. I bought the wheel on Ebay from a guy who lazer cut them from mild steel plate. It is a tight fit but it does work without any cutting on the timing cover. The coils are mounted to the right head with an aluminum bracket I made. I'm running MS1 Extra 2.25b514 right now. The hardest part is the plug wires. I made a set by taking the Ford ends and putting them on the Pontiac wires. Just been too lazy to order up the stuff to make a nice set from Magnacore.
