Mine wouldn't go out either with hand cranking or when the engine was spinning from the starter but not starting up. Once I got it running though the light went out after 5-10 seconds.

I had a go a wiring up a simple ignition circuit for my CVH just using the EDIS module and coil pack

I did get a spark when cranking the engine over but it seemed a little weak.
So i wondered if I had it wired correctly.
The black wire is the positive feed to the coil pack and edis.
I didnt' have the 25uf suppression to ground fitted as I dont' have whatever a 25uf looks like
Also I wasn't 100% sure on the terminals 1 and 3 on the coil pack

The leads and plugs are fairly old also.
Any thoughts

The ht leads dont fit the cvh head so I wandered what any ones anyone have used?

Also what spark plugs? as apparantly this can have an effect when swapping to EDIS

25 uf is a 25 micro farad capacitor. Available from rs maplins etc.

I ran my cvh on megajolt and used standard cvh plugs with no probs

I think i used fiesta leads or ford ka, just went to local motor factors and looked at a few ford sets from around the coilpack era until i found some

The Radio Supressor should nto make any difference on starting, it's often even ommited from the ford diagrams.

Stop faffing about man and get it running

Thats the plan, got it sparking properly now, so just need the carbs sorting, will try the sierras carb just for a giggle!
