How long is a slant?

I saw a youtube video a few years ago that showed EDIS on a slant six. I recall the 36-1 crank wheel wasn't as nice as pishta's photo. The pickup was on a long bracket that looked potentially wobbly, but the engine was running fine in the video. I put a 36-1 wheel on my 273 engine and considering that for my slant. Mounting the pickup on the slant is a bit trickier. It looks like pishta's isn't mounted yet, just a mockup.

You can't use a normal distributor pickup to trigger EDIS. It requires the 36-1 tooth signal. Distributors give only one pulse per cylinder per camshaft turn. Perhaps if you rigged a custom pickup wheel inside a distributor, you could make it work, but not in the normal "wasted spark" mode.
