    Red face 3.0 dizzy off swap to 3.3 coilpack

    Hey everyone, I have been thinking for a while to remove the distributor all together and use a coil pack from a 3.3. I know it can be done but the imfo that I had some time ago was to have a Ford EDMS installed and it's easy. Any light will be very much appreciated.

    You would need to be running MegaSquirt to do it. I you are eliminating the distributor, then you need to switch to at least a toothed wheel (ie. 36-1 toothed wheel) for engine position.

    If you are running an MS2, you will need to added two more ignition drivers.

    Tell us more about your setup and we can give more details.

    Hey Ed, I have been delaying the MS2 since October, but I will get one from DIYAutotune and install it in couple of months. I don't want to start swapping from my red Lebaron. The 95 one will be off the road for couple of more months till the weather gets warmer up here.

    Make sure you let them know that you will be running a coil pack and they can set it up for you (assuming that they are building it for you.)

    For a while I considered a coil pack, but ultimately I concluded not enough upside and too many down sides. (I was considering running a really aggressive cam and wasted spark could potentially cause some issues...)

    Like Ed said, make sure they know the setup you plan on running

    This includes; the crank sensor (Hall Effect or VR), amount of coil packs (3 coils for wasted spark = 3 ignition drivers).
