EDIS8 Wasted Spark FAST XFI 2.0 Sequential Fuel Injection

I have started on a new project that I hope will work.

I am going to try to convert my FAST XFI Dual Sync Distributor Sequential Fuel Injection system to a EDIS8 Wasted Spark Sequential Fuel Injection system.

I have been having trouble with crank sync errors that I think are being caused by the distributor. My MSD 6AL has also died. I have installed an OLD MSD 6 box in the car now, but I do not trust it.

I am going to try to convert to the Ford EDIS8 wasted spark ignition with a 36 -1 crank trigger wheel.
I hope to run the FAST XFI in the TFI ignition mode for the EDIS8.

I also want to be able to keep my Sequential Fuel Injection, so I am going to add a cam position sensor.

I am using a 2000 Jeep 4.0L Cam Position Synchronizer.

There are adapters on the market, but being the tight a$$ that I am. I decided to find a cheap easy way to make my own.

I started with a Junk aluminum body 383 distributor. I removed the shaft and all the rest of the parts.

Then chucked the base in my metal lathe and cut the upper housing body off.

I then drilled and bored the center to an "snug" fit of the cam position sensor.

Then turned an "O" ring seat in the center.

Next came the hold down for the sensor to distributor base.
I used an old piece of fuel rail and cut, notched and drilled and tapped.

After everything was assembled, the tang on the cam position sensor needed to be shortened about 3/16" to seat correctly.

Here are a few photos of the progress so far.











The 2000 Jeep 4.0L Camshaft Synchronizer is a World Power Systems CAMS4601 ($33.79) and the connector is a Standard Motor Products S-2099 ($21.99)

Here are a couple of photos of the Camshaft Synchronizer installed in the engine.





I will add more as I go on this project.
