Edelbrock EFI w/ Aftermarket Ign?

[Guest Anonymous]

I want to install the new Edelbrock EFI setup on a 350. My question is that i noticed the ECU for it uses an 'ignition adapter' and that the ECU 'gives complete control over ignition'. I don want to use the Edelbrock ECU for Ignition control, I want to use the programmable MSD Igntion Controller. Any Ideas?

You might be able to select a feature that disables / ignores the spark advance function, or just not hook it up. Check with Edelbrock. You could also go with the Holley Commander 950. That is full laptop programmable and you can disable spark advance in the programing.

I am assuming you are refferring to the Edlebrock Pro Flo RPM system. I have this system and from what I gathered from reading both the installation AND setup manuals is that it cannot be seperated. The programmer NEEDS this info to operate. Of course there is always the possiblitly of trying to fool the ECU into thinking the Edelbrock IGN is up nad running when infact it's not but that is another story and you should probably have already bought another EFI systems such as SDS, Haltech, etc. This is just my opnion but why would you NOT want to use the built in fully adjustable IGN map that Edelbrock already suppliese with the system? MSD is good stuff but what the Edelbrock system offers is the ability to "observe" the timing and adjust in real time from the same controller you control your fuel with. Not seperate controllers, seperate ways of controlling, etc. I am willing to bet $10 that there will be NO differene in HP and MPG with either set up once optimized.

Good luck,
