hi, can i use my cvh 1800 carb ignition wirring for my winter upgrade to a zetec, have looked at the 1400,1600cvh wirring sugestions from this and other sites, both wirring diagrams look very simular except some wires from ecu module to distributor/coil pack, any thoughts, suggestions, thanks.

My 1.8 cvh has a coil and dizy how would you replicate that on the zetec ?

If on a very tight budget you could use the esc modual from a 1.1~1.3 endura Fiesta / Escort.

I ran a cvh on one for months ive also run zetecs and alsorts with a 36-1 trigger wheel. Its not perfect for a zetec but its better than nothing.

I agree that you won't be able to use cvh carb ignition on a Zetec.

Even if you could I wouldn't bother. A Megajolt would be the best route if using carbs on your Zetec.

yep mjl would be a good step up

its all down to cost.

thanks for the replies, does the esc module do advance and retard,
i have allso heard from local banger racers that use mk1 moneo ecu, ??? on wirring,
have looked at mj, im not good with pc's, maps etc.

yep does the advance.

Mk1 (EEC IV) ecu is now rare and sort after as its a pre pats ecu.

Ive wired a few of them up. If going that route you may aswell run the injection aswell. Ecu is 60 pins so lots of wiring.

I am now working on the EEC V Pats1 ecu's They are 104 pin so even more wiring but doable.

Have a butchers at some of my vids

Give me a shout if you need any help on running a zetec on budget.

MJ is pretty easy to wire. I haven't messed about with maps much - I just used someone else's.

youtube looks great is it fitted yet, thanks for the offer of help with the zetec on a budget, will look further into wirring/getting parts for both of the suggested ignition types (esc and mk1 mondoe).
was hopeing to go bike carbs for fuelling, ??? on space for injection system.
thanks andy
