Does anyone know if an edis 4 sparks at 10 degrees TDC even if not connected to an ECU? I'm sure I've read this somewhere. Kind of like a limp home mode. I can't find where I seen it now and know some of you have already some experience with Megajolt etc.

yes without mj or the ford box connected, you get 10 degree fixed
best way to run it first off to prove it works

edis runs at 10degrees before tdc without anything connected to it. only use it to test the engine idles. if you try and drive the car with it like that with out the fueling setup you will have problems.

i think you may have read it in complete kit car mag

Mine runs 10 degrees BTDC as Ford intended (its part of the limp home strategy). If your runs 10 degrees after Ash you aint got the trigger in the right place.....

And there is definately something wrong if the manifolds are glowing red hot !
Timing or mixture.
