would it be possible to run coil on plug on a 3 cyl with a 36-1 trigger wheel on the cam instead of the crank, triggering an EDIS6 with single tower coils as wasted spark? the timing maps would have to be retarded 50%
Thanks,
Dustin

Re: COP on 3 cyl?
Should work other than the skewed timing maps.
Re: COP on 3 cyl?
I would imagine it would be possible to run it as normal off the crank 36-1 sensor. Instead of firing 3 pairs of plugs, you could just fire 3 single plugs. Use COPs unless you have a 3-coil coilpack, and attach the EDIS 6 to cylinders 1, 2 and 3 just as you would the three pairs of cylinders on a 6 cylinder engine.
What you'd end up with would be a "wasted spark" setup on each cylinder, with an ignition event around TDC on the exhaust stroke.

Re: COP on 3 cyl?
what does the crankshaft look like?
in other words, are the rods every 120 degrees, or a pair together, and one 180 off?
