Hi, Hauss - welcome to the madness!

The MS is very much a DIY project, and you need to understand (to some extent - this is a hobby, not the Ford engineering department! 8) ) the how and why of the way things work. I strongly recommend you dig into the MegaManual and start reading in a methodical fashion.

I'm not a complete doofus, so I will point out the two pages you need to read to make your changes (and there are a few): this is the TFI page, and this is the EDIS page. There is a lot of info on the EDIS page, but a lot of it is background and how it works; the hard parts info is about halfway down the page, starting at "Installing the Ford EDIS System". The changes aren't enormous, but there are a few parts to remove and a few jumpers to install.

Ask if you have any more questions!

There's a link to the manual at the top of this page in the red section. Go there and scroll down to 'Tuning your MS' and on the right you'll see the ignition options. Compare the mods needed for TFI and EDIS.
