It would require a crank trigger wheel and sensor (parts robbed from a 5.0L Ford Exlorer/4.6L T-Birds, Crown Vics, etc.), the EDIS-8 module and a cam position sensor (IF you have sequential fire injectors) that would drop in the hole where the distributor would normally mount --this MAY have to have a machined adapter for the cam sensor but probably not impossible or too difficult to do. Most of this would be wrecking yard parts and not exceedingly high dollar to put together.

EDIS Ignition Control

The system could be run off of a MegaSquirt controller.

Hey Steve. Can this system be used with a carburetor or is EFI a prerequisite?

I didn't read the entire info pack here ( just enough to peak my curiosity ) so please forgive me if it's stated in the info.

Well the Santa in the big brown truck showed up this evening.
So now got a figure out which way, I'll do my fuel system.

As, I'm looking for longevity from the fuel delivery system and don't,
think the little all in one command center will give what, I am looking for.

Same with the Edelbrock fuel all in one fuel setup.

Looking for a HP pump that's not to noisy yet get yrs of service from.

'Could use Edelbrock's fuel sump system.

Otherwise a Walbro 255 lph pump, an Aeromotive bypass regulator, and Earl's hoses and fittings.

Congrats on the brown Santa truck Rich. My 1st reaction was a Ford factory frame mounted fuel pump from years back. But then I remembered some HP fuel pumps are good "pushers" but not good at sucking the fuel out of the tank. That's why they had in tank pumps and frame mounted ones back then. I didn't check out Hio's suggestion before posting this but I trust his judgment. I'd look in to his if I was in your shoes.
Note. Mount the HP pump with isolating rubber mounts.

Aw thanks Jeff I ordered the Holley dual pump p/n 12 1200 2 that can be used as a double pumper or each side singular pump, So, I'll see how this works for long term. After having some thought to noise. Hell not to worried about it as wind turbulence mostly never hear a efi pump.

I remembered a A/C condenser mount for the 70's T-birds. Part number D2SZ19C658A. if it were me I'd mount that pump beauty with these. Been decades since I've seen one but from memory I think they are 1/4" studs. Dang if I didn't find a pic of it on evilbay.

These self-learning TBI systems require anywhere from 49 to 60 PSI depending on which brand ya go with.

Better to go with a return system instead of a PWM (pulse width modulation) dead head.

So I keep wondering why not use a late 80's to 90's crown vic tank and electric in tank pump. Wouldn't this be a possible in cab conversion?

1984/85 Fox chassis Mustangs with 302 and A/T had throttle body CFI. (Central Fuel Injection). 1984 and early 85's had an in-tank pump leading to a higher pressure frame mounted pump. Late 85's just had a high pressure in-tank pump. M/T got a 600 CFM Holley 4180 4V. So I figured that car could answer your question Brian. I found this on a Mustang Forum.


84 Mustang GT 5.0L CFI VIN Code F. 84 and 85 mustangs could have CFI.

you would also need to reduce the fuel pressure. carbs use max of 7psi, the specs for 1984 is 35-45
