Does anyone know if I can use the factory Rover coil packs that came with my 4.6 in conjunction with the Mega Squirt and Ford EDIS crank trigger/ignition module or will I have to ditch them in favor of the Ford coil packs? I'm hoping there is a way to retain them as they are tucked cleanly at the rear of the intake and the factory harness is intact.
Thanks Guys,
Mike
If the resistance of the primary windings in the coil is the same. I don't see why it wouldn't work. http://www.megamanual.com/ms2/EDIS.htm

Thank you Bill! Any advice for me on how to determine the resistance of both makes?
Mike
Did you fly a night P-38? My grampa Joe flew a "J"s over Bavaria out of Sicily. I'm pretty sure it was a "J". Just wondering.
Mike
I measured the resistance across the primary terminals, on an EDIS coil. I got 1/2 of an ohmn (.5). I don't have a Rover coil pack to test.

Hey Nick,
The user name Black P-38 is a reference to my Black '94 Ford F-150 Lightning pickup sorta like Mustang "pilots" who refer to their "Pony" as P-51... I do all my flying LOW, just about pavement elevation although my next door neighbor of many years ago did pilot the P-38 Lightnings and many others during his Air Force career.

Bill, thanks for checking that resistance for me. I'll see what the Rover coil pack reads and report back with my findings.
