EDIS SPARK PLUG WIRES

Post by Later-A-Body »

I am in the process of an EFI conversion of a Pontiac 455. I just bought a set of EDIS coil packs and EDIS-8 module from a Lincoln 4.6 liter. I would like to locate a set of universal plug wires for this set up. Has anyone seen or know of a build your own plug wire set for these? Thanks.

I made some out of plain copper wire from Auto Zone and the ends from the old wires (off an Escort). Just remember to change over to resistor plugs.

A few people have ditched the Ford EDIS coils for Chrysler coils, and have found the EDIS module operates them satisfactory. The Chrysler coils feature standard "bullet" tower terminals allowing regular wire sets to be utilized.

Rumor has it that Ford of Australia actually used the Chrysler coils with the EDIS module from the factory. Apparently they were easier to get locally.

The only EDIS module equipped cars here in Australia (that I know of) were Mondeo and maybe some Exploder models. Everything else had EDIS control in the engine ecu. The six cylinder falcon (1994-1996) and (1998-2002) used bosch marked coils - probably made by bosch in Australia. And why would you taint a Ford with Chrysler parts? :evil:

I bought a used EDIS setup that came with a set of explorer plug wires. If you're careful, you can disassemble the coil-end connectors off the the old wires and re-use them on to new plug wires. If you want to do that, then just go find a set of 5.0L explorer plug wires in a junk yard.
