get rid of that hunk of crap (stock ignitian modual).

you need a trigger wheel with a hall sensor or magnetic sensor. run a dis box and some generic two post coils.

stock ignitian modual controls timing on its own!

Then you need to get a 93-95 ignition controller.

That's one way to do it. But we haven't had any problems with the stock ignition controller. I don't have any proof because I've never worked with one, but I think the MS is the problem. Not the ICM.

What some people do is use the Ford EDIS 60-2 wheel and pickup. Then use some MSD LS1 coils. Packs quite a punch. But I dont have a clue how to set all of that up on the haltech.

Or another thing that I've been thinking of. Since the ICM sends the ECU a trigger signal, you could probably use the ignition output on the ECU to another ignitor instead of using the stock ICM as the ignitor. Did that make sense? It's hard for me to describe what's in my head.

This way you can still use the stock CPS without having to try and get another aftermarket wheel and pickup mounted to the crank pulley.

stock ls1 coils are cheap and easy. you give them a trigger, power and ground and thats it. you don't need a box at all. they have their own ignitor built right into the coil.

only problem is the wires. i'm not sure about now, but there was only one place with cut to fit wires for ls1's because of their wierd end that connects to the coil.

your going to get the best signal with a hall signal, which the stock sensor is not. magnetics work fine, but are a lot more suseptable to getting thrown off.

if your running a standalone, you shouldn't use anything stock except maybe the trigger wheel and the coils (not the ignitian modual). its a piece of crap that always breaks, not to mention who know what your ignitian advance really is.

when picking out a standalone, a good standalone will have 4 ignitian outputs. with this you can run an output to each coil pack having direct fire capability. if it has two outputs you have to run a wasted spark seutp. if it only has one (which i think the e6 has) you have to run some sort of ignitian box or a modual, which sucks big donky cock.

COP is very strong. Put a step or two colder plug in and ou should be good on ignition power into the 1000+ hp range.

When the router board comes out for the megasquirt, I might get it so I can run COP and ditch the ford EDIS...or if it comes out before I finish the ford edis, then I wil just skip to the COP.
