Edis 8 wired to coil on plugs
Olds 455 Edis 8 ms2
I originally tried to start the engine with the linchon coil on plugs wired in parallel, but I thing I destroyed the edis module
Then I bought another Edis set up off eBay and wired it all up with the factory coil packs
I have had it starting and running pretty smooth. So I thought Id try and wire the coil on plug in series sins I see the is a popular mod for the linchon mk7 guys

But with it wired all correctly in series it will crank and sometimes fire but run rough and die. Or it will crank and show no tach signal in TS then totally disconnect from TS like I've lost power to turned the key off. If I turn the key off and on again it will reconnect
Any ideas
I'll post a vid soon

It seems that posts that are a month old vanish away into some void. Bummer that this knowledge will become lost.
Re: Edis 8 wired to coil on plugs
Yeah I think Parallel fried the edis but its cool, it's all part of hot rodding
The new edis was running great on the factory coil packs
Ive got the the COPs wired in series now. Each coil secondary resistance
Is 6,000 ohms so between to sister coils I get 12k resistance
The resistance of one of the plug wires i tested was 15k.
Any ideas??
