94 Ford 3.0L has a 5.1 trigger wheel in the distributor.
Can this be used successfully?
Or do I need to ditch the distributor for a TFI?
Will I loose MS control of ignition events with a TFI?
Alternative would be converting to a EDIS trigger off the crank?

Perhaps I am looking at the trigger wheel wrong.
Is the wide gap not relevant depending on which edge (leading or trailing) being looked at?

This sounds like a "signature PIP" TFI. This can be made to work simply by running the right trigger edge.
Re: 94 Ford 3.0L 5.1 trigger wheel
Thanks and yes after double checking the trigger wheel one edge is symmetrical which will provide a good ignition trigger.
