Hi All/Craig,
I have an Oddfire V6 4.3 motor running an oddfire FAST ECU, flying magnet crank trigger and the cam reference is one reluctor leg left on the distributor, ignition is an oddfire MSD6 box so nothing fancy. Anyway, I purchased the e-Dist system as my motor is good for 8000+ RPMS and the current ignition set up isn't much good beyond 6500RPMS. When I bought the box I was told it would work with the oddfire pulses and even had the box sent back to Lance for testing, the box accepted signals just fine and we are pretty sure that the e-dist box itself really doesn't care about even versus odd pulses coming from the FAST ECU. We fabbed our own harness, used LS1 coils, custom made plug wires, and away we went. While we did get a few sparks which went directly into my hand we never got the sytem to work. After taking a break from this attempt and going back to the MSD box etc...I think we may have figured something out, but I wanted Craig's advice/others here advice on something. Doesn't the cam signal need to occur twice in one rotation of the motor? So on a V6 with a firing order of 1-6-5-4-3-2 you need a cam signal at #1 and then again at #4 right? Or in the LS1 world #1 and then again at #5? We are only giving the e-Dist box one cam signal and that is at #1 TDC from the single reluctor left on the distributor, don't we need to tell the e-Dist box #4 as well? Thanks in advance guys....
