Unhappy Why no response?

I posted this over two weeks ago and got no response. I am trying to find out what to look for when I get a 3 flash code.

Angry Not an answer

I read the instruction booklet. I don't need it yelled back at me. I took the time to clearly describe my build and my problem. I have obviously missed something in my diagnosis and was looking for your help.

Is this the way you treat customers who spend good money on your products.

A happy customer tells three people, an unhappy customer tells 3000

Attachment 2186

why dont you post a drawing of how you connected the edis to the dis-4 box.( the old dip swiches or the new dials)
on your 81 vette . ( a picture is worth a thousand words)

also, is all 8 coils daisy chained off of one box?
and also would like to see your coil and the method you used.
plus, i sure everyone here would love to see "pics of this install"

i know from previous customers that the edis will not drive eight coils...
as for the 3800 rpm miss , makes us wonder if the coils are firing at wrong time.
hence , looking at the edis out put circuit you have wired up will give us a better clue.

side note: at what degress of rotation and coil charge time does the driver fire the coils?


now, with this in mind....".have we looked at maybe these ignition companys"
the specialize in muti-coil operation .
